It may well be a real Penny, but if you mean the date has been changed deliberately by the Royal Mint, probably not. There is no documentary evidence suggesting that any 1898 Pennies were over struck and is possibly a forgery.

If you mean that the die has struck the coin more than once (double struck) and there are two images slightly out of alignment, you may well have a genuine curiosity on your hands.

I suggest that you take your coin to a reputable coin dealer for authentication and valuation.
