I can't tell from the image, there is too much damage. I see no errors, anywhere, on the cent.

Is it a wheat or memorial?

   Based on the styles of the remaining numerals and the mint mark, this is either a 1926-S or (most likely) a 1936-S that would have graded Very Fine if undamaged.  While an undamaged 1926-S would have a retail value of $15 or so in Very Fine grade, the damage obliterating the third numeral renders it unsalable.  A 1936-S in Very Fine would be worth less than $1 even if undamaged.

The date is unimportant as the coin is heavily damaged and has no numismatic value, I would say that it most likely is a 1936 minted at the SF mint.   In 1936 the SF mint coined just over 29 million coins for that year, and while like your Mercury dime this coin is old there were more than enough saved so even high grade examples can be found for just a few dollars.   Value for this coin is 2 or 3 cents at best to a collector, however, you will see coins like this, and your Merc dime, offered on sites like etsy and ebay with much higher asking prices.    Unfortunately some folks are sucked in and ripped off by those unscrupulous sellers.

This is today’s theme for some reason I can’t guess. Your coin is not an error - it is damaged. Who told you it was an error?

What I want to know is what is an "Error Pennis" as stated in the title of this thread.

Haha....Mint errors. 

[Greenstang]

Please explain where you see an error so we may help you.

Also it is best to start a new thread for each coin as it gets confusing with more than one at a time.

Where? Honest Injun @Silverdimes, I blew up your pictures as large as I can and I don’t see anything approaching an error. 

[l.cutler]

I'm not seeing anything either, you really need to point out what you feel is an error.

Sorry Silverdimes I do not see a error.
