PCGS Number: 82649 Coin Date: 1936 Denomination (Short): 1c Denomination (Long): One Cent Variety: Doubled Die Obverse, Type 1 Desg: MS Composition: 95% copper; 5% zinc & tin Mintage: 309,632,000 Strike Type: Business Coinage Type: Lincoln Cent Coinage Years: 1909-1958 Mint Location: Philadelphia Diameter: 19 Weight (Grams): 3.11 Weight (Ounces): 0.11 Designer: Victor D. Brenner Edge: Plain Obverse Description: Bust of Abraham Lincoln framed by IN GOD WE TRUST on the top periphery. The word LIBERTY to the left of the portrait and the date and mintmark (If any) positioned on the right side. Reverse Description: Wheat ears flanking the words ONE CENT, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The motto E PLURIBUS UNUM on the top perimeter. General Notes: The 1936 Type 1 doubled die obverse Lincoln cent is a variety with dramatic doubling visible to the naked eye. The doubling is exhibited in the date and inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. It is believed that fewer than 300 examples exist, making this coin much rarer than the far more popular 1955 doubled die (which has more than 10,000 survivors) and is more on par in scarcity with the 1917 doubled die obverse. This coin is rare in all conditions, including circulated grades and also Red-Brown Mint State levels. PCGS #: 82649 NGC ID: 22DE
