I saw a penny once and it had liberty misspelled. It spelled liberty, but I didn't think anything of it and spent it. Now I'm thinking it might've been worth something. Was it?

I've never heard of an error like that on a Lincoln Cent before.  Without photos, it's impossible to tell you what you may have had.

It isn't an error.  For some reason the T in LIBERTY seems to frequently get hit at the top making it look like a Y.  It has been seen on a lot of different years.  Since all the dies for a year trace their lineage back to a single master hub in order for there to be such a mispelling it would have to be misspelled on the master hub.  And if it was then ALL of the dies for that year would have the mispelling.
