I have a 1946 wheat penny that appears to have had something struck on the planchette- and it shows on the reverse side also… has mint errors above the N on reverse side, missing letters and numbers in the year as well as can not tell if there should’ve been a mint marker.. how do I go about finding out how much this is worth? I’m new to coin collecting and searching… Thank you
I don’t know how to upload photos here…

Wait a couple days and you should be able to upload photos, but it's most likely post-minting damage.
It is worth less than 5 cents.
In all likelihood it is post mint damage and is worth one cent. Photos are needed to be sure.
@Amybs001 ... Welcome aboard. We will need pictures to give you a proper analysis. You can post a link, but it will be a few days until you can post a picture directly (forum protocol). From your description, do not be surprised if the conclusions are wear and Post Mint Damage (PMD). Cheers, RickO
Welcome to the Forum... it takes a couple of days to get full user privileges to upload images, but as others have indicated... sounds like PMD...

Hello thanks for sharing that with us I never knew that I'm still learning so what if it's just on one side it counts possibly be a mint error.?
Sorry ment to put could it possibly be a mint error
@Jessann1987.... Welcome aboard. The answer to your question is maybe - but usually it is Post Mint Damage (PMD). Study the minting process, get a copy of the Redbook - that is a worthwhile investment, covers all U.S. coins and describes errors. They are not common. Enjoy the forum and the hobby. Cheers, RickO
