Wheat Penny Error? Multiple Dye.

#1 Unread post by boots1127 »

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!

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:
Very limited knowledge, but trying to learn more everyday.
Great you are here. I would kindly like to suggest something that will help all of us is learning what the forum posting rules are. We need certain info and certain pictures that help us give the best answer. So please help us help you:
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. :D

:text-link: :
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). :roll: :lol:
