    The 'faces' between the middle right columns are actually the result of a psychological phenomenon called pareidolia, in which we tend to see patterns where none are present. One particularly common instance is seeing faces:

    Your coin is normal, the toning just makes it seem like there is a face.

    No, not really. In between which columns (numbering from the left) do you see this?
     
  5. The third one from the left there's even a man and a little boy above him

    MasterSamurai hit it. He was being nice calling that "toning," it's really corrosion.

    Martians.
    Definitely Martians as they also took a chunk out of the front roof of the building. You can see a cyclopic eye lookout martian on the top right of the roof area.

    there was a gov't report once of martians infiltrating the US Mint. But the gov't had pulled that report and won't release it again.

    Come on. Have you read up on the minting process yet to get a better understanding of how coins are made? I know you’ve been supplied with the links and tons of information from other members so I’m not going to repost.

    If you’ve done your homework you’d know it was impossible for something like you are seeing to happen. No one at the mint is making a special die with the image of a man and a boy walking through the Lincoln Memorial, striking one cent, and then spending it.

    Where is the logic in any of that?

    Isint it more logical that the coin you have is old, circulated, corroded, gunked up and some of the shapes happen to look like something familiar?

    Is there really a giant ladle in the sky or does my brain perceive a group of stars to look like one?

    Common sense.

    I was walking at night once, a clear night, clear field and all of a sudden I had drops of what looked like gravy hit me on the head. So there's your undisputable proof about the ladle !!
    LOL

    But have you read up on the minting process?

    The time you took to examine this cent, take pictures, post this thread, monitor it, and reply, could have been more productively spent in learning the minting process so you can draw your own conclusions and then potentially find something of value.
