I found this 1955 Wheat penny and I'm trying to determine if it's a Error. Maybe someone can help me. Thanks

Hard to tell from the photos, it looks like PMD to me but the date does not seem effected so maybe something else.

It maybe an epoxy glue on the coin. One for the Wheat cent pile.

If it is raised off of the field, it is probably as coop stated, some glue like substance. Not an error.

 . A substance is on the coin, not a mint error. John1

To have even more fun, try soaking the coin in pure acetone--perhaps overnight. That might remove the gunk. Acentone works on many things, but not all.

  that it looks like something is on the surface of the coin. Can you post another close up without all the glare?

Not an error, just post mint damage.   to the CCF!
