OK, I tried to research this in varieties in the Red Book and online, and I found nothing that explained what would cause this. It's significantly lighter and thinner than a regular 1936 LWC. So, I present the PMD or whatever damaged 1936 Lincoln Wheat penny. Any and all observations are welcome!    |

Pretty cool to find that.
I agree with the others, you need to find the other half.

Interesting because this one actually started to corrode the reverse.

Yeah, I think this coin was from my grandfathers collection, but, it may have been one I got from the couple auction boxes I got a few weeks ago. Between all of those, I've got at least a couple dozen PMD's and several coins with laminations. One thing is for sure though. I'm becoming a Lincoln lover, with Jefferson running a close second! |

Sometimes the coin is altered to make a dime fit into the the opposite side of the coin. This can give the appearance of a cent turning into a dime. (just flipping the coin)  Yours was not altered that deeply though. |

(just flipping the coin) coop, there is actually one of those coin combinations in my grandfathers collection! It's like a 1972 dime on one side and the reverse of a wheatie on the other. They're not stuck together though, but they are together in the same holder. |

Sorry coop, I wanted to get pics of the coin(s) and edit them. Here they are. The Wheat penny reverse is the other side of the coin that has been hollowed out to make room for a dime. This is the particular dime that was with it.    |

Wow, put the dime in the wheatie, then pop into my Buffalo nickel, 3 coins in 1.   |
