    I found this interesting error on a 50's era wheatback penny. It isn't possible to tell what date it is, looks authentic. I have never seen this kind of error before.

    This specimen also appears to have an Improper alloy mix error.

    Definition: These planchets usually have irregular streaks from an incomplete mixing of the metals. These are common on the early wheat cents.

    The 195- cent was damaged by a coin-wrapping machine. Looks like the date is 1950

    Would this kind of error/damage be worth anything?

    The coin is worth face value.
