They are possible, but very hard to replicate. They have a very distinct look to them and the patina (because of the copper) has a natural aged look. A trained eye will be able to distinguish between a genuine and counterfeit (Look up “Large Cent blank planchet” on Google, you’ll see what I mean)

Ah ok thanks for the explanation. Have heard of things like double strikes but not planchet.
