    I found a penny in my like mound of coins and it looks like it could be miss-dyed, does that happen in pennies? Like what should I look out for how do I know it isnt just a penny covered in crap?

    Dis-colored may be a more appropriate description. There are many reasons for that among copper cents.

    I think he could of also meant miss-dyed as a Strike error.. Off-Center Die Strike, Misaligned Die Strike etc.

    I understand the Mis Dyed statement I was just hoping that the OP would elaborate on what he is asking because it is a little vague.

    He could mean Tye Dyed as if the coin has a lot of color.
    But we will never know without a photo.
    Please post a photo so that we can help.

    Are you sure you don't mean "Thai Dyed" as in Made in Southeast Asia?

    Slightly a different style. Thai is the origin.
    I spelt it wrong.

    I'd buy those, but rather 1909 or 1916 obverses instead.
