I found this penny. I see where so many people see a error on a coin that looks just like normal to me. So a question,does the we on this coin look special?

It looks good to me--typical of '59 cents. Check it against other photos of '59s using google image search.
Rest in Peace

Damage to a coin is not a mint error. It happens after the strike. Damage turns the coin into a cull. We see a lot of damaged coins called errors, which they are not:

These where listed on the forum in just one month. So we see a lot of damaged coins called errors. If you bought a new car and had an accident with the car on the way home: Would that be a factory error? No. It happened after you have driven the car. Same for coins. Someone altered them trying to make them look like a mint error. But they are not mint errors. A pre-owner of your coin damaged it. Making it now a cull coin. No premium for a damaged coin, just face value now.
