I have picked up a few wheat cents with what appear to be errors. On this one I see a doubling of the face and am wondering what I have? It's a very poorly struck coin and has years of hard use on it. With that said; what is a coin like this worth?
And on a side note; trying to take a picture of this coin really makes me appreciate the skill shown by others on this forum!

That would explain the soft edges to everything. Some more information on 'Acid bath coin' please? Here's a pic of the back of this same coin. Would the black contamination/dirt/epoxy/whatever, be left over from the washing?

Acid bath removes layers from the coin. Devices still appear, but the rims are the first to go. Here are a few other examples.
