1936 Lincoln Wheat Cent MAJOR Lamination Error Obverse Peel Strip XF Mint Error

A lamination error happens when impurities or trapped gas in the metal strip cause a layer of the coin to separate. Small flakes are common; large strips like this one are much more dramatic.

This exact 1936 Lincoln cent has a major lamination: a wide strip of metal has peeled and shifted across the obverse, running edge to edge through LIBERTY, Lincoln’s chin and the bust, with clear step edges where the layer separated. The coin grades XF in our opinion. The reverse is a coppery red-brown with a normal strike. Please view all of the close-up photos, as they show the lamination best.

SHIPPINGEvery coin we sell ships in protective packaging — no exceptions. The exact container depends on the shipping class: for example, our Standard Envelope option is limited to a maximum of 1/4" thickness, so a bubble mailer isn’t used there. Instead, coins travel in a vinyl flip, a thick baggie, or a cardboard flip, whichever best protects that particular coin. We ship daily, Monday through Friday, excluding all USPS holidays.
RETURNS / GUARANTEEWe maintain (unless otherwise noted on items like bullion) a 30-day, FREE-to-you return policy. All we want is happy customers — if you don’t like what we send, just send it back, free of charge.
QUESTIONS? CONTACT USContact us Monday–Friday, 9–5 EST, with any questions or concerns. Our number one goal is happy customers who buy from us time and time again. If you ever have an issue, please let us know — and remember, our return policy above has you covered.
GRADING DISCLAIMERWe arrive at an approximate grade using a combination of our own years of experience and, increasingly, Artificial Intelligence (AI). We are not a professional grading service, and any grade shown is only an approximation — please make your own determination based on the photos provided.
