Did the same member of your "corn up" facebook group that found the 1983-D copper penny find this winner? Somebody is on a roll!

Weird. The date makes no sense at all.

You've heard of the Infinite Monkey Theory, right? The notion that "a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type a given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare." (Wikipedia)

What you have there is an infinite monkey date. It looks real but is some aberrant PMD.

I don't think I'm smart enough for that infinite monkey thing LOL but it would have to be p.md. because if not it makes no sense

Overdate

Likely a 1956.
