I am very new to collecting coins and found this 1956 D wheat Penny and wondered if anyone has ever heard of coins being caught up in a  conveyor belt at any mint location? I figured that if it was after circulation, damaged would be on both sides or at minimum on edge? Please advice. Thanks

Welcome to the forum.

While it is almost certain that this happened after the coin left the mint, it really does not matter in respect to the value of the coin. Even if it was damaged by mint machinery inside the mint building, it still happened after the strike, so it is not considered an error. It is just damaged.
