Wheat Penny Error? Multiple Dye.
Hello all:
Very limited knowledge, but trying to learn more everyday. I was looking through a large stash of wheat pennies and found this. It does not appear to me to be coin damage. If anyone knows where I could find some information on why it looks like this? It appears to possibly be a 1926? Thanks for any and all help!

Re: Wheat Penny Error? Multiple Dye.
Not much can be seen using current images, please provide clear cropped images of the obverse and reverse of the coin.
It appears that the coin was submerged in caustic substance for a period of time, causing damage to the coin.
Post mint damaged, no additional value above face value.

First:
Please help us help you better - find out how to make a post that gives us all the info we need to make a legitimate opinion.

Click here, READ the guidelines list and please watch the video!
Second:
Your cent is what happens when you take a (copper - maybe not copper plated) penny and push it hard against a wire wheel (bench grinder type).
I once knew this little boy (about 45 some years ago) who liked to do this with his Dad's wire wheel.
Making ripply pennies was fun (for some odd reason).

Re: Wheat Penny Error? Multiple Dye.
....... are you able to see the "Grab Point" where the coin was held?....... I do
...... this is just one of the many reasons why we ask to see " Clear Full Coin Images"
