1936 Lincoln wheat Penny

#1 Unread post by Lilli783 »

I recently found a 1936 Lincoln wheat Penny while going through my change. It doesn't have a mint mark and it has 1936 stamped on the reverse side? Is there a mint error

I agree with Paul. Damaged coin - no added value.
See how the rim is flattened/messed up on the front directly on the other side of the (reversed impression) 1936?
