1936-S Lincoln Wheat Cent MAJOR Lamination Split Error Obverse Head VF Mint Err

A lamination error happens when impurities or trapped gas in the metal strip cause a layer of the coin to separate. The result is a flake, peel or split in the surface that was made at the mint, before or during striking. Small flakes are common; large peels and splits like this one are much more dramatic.

This exact 1936-S Lincoln cent has a major lamination split on the obverse: a long, straight split runs across the coin from the left rim through LIBERTY and Lincoln’s head, with metal lifted along its length. The S mint mark is clear. The reverse is a normal strike. The coin grades VF in our opinion, brown. This coin is stored in a vinyl flip. Please view all of the close-up photos.

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.
