Klee3132 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 10/08/2022 2:12 pm I have a 1936 Wheat penny with the number 2 on the back. I have searched high and low and haven't been able to find anything regarding this so I'm not sure if it's an actual error or done by an individual. I'm new to this so any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA Report this Post to the Staff
