Yes; 309,632,000 of them to be exact. Which is practically all of them for that year. (Denver only minted about 40.6 million) Is there a particular reason you asked this? Or just curious? Not trying to be rude I promise.

 

I opened an entire roll of this dated cent (they were all shiny red 1936) while working for JC Penney in Fallon Nevada over the Christmas Season twelve years ago... My eyes nearly fell out of my Head, I had NEVER encountered something like that before, or since... Dammitt!

the reason i ask is in the books i looked at only had proof in satin and proof then they go on to the d mark

 

WF,

Proof coins were discontinued - for the most part - after 1916. In 1936 the Mint resumed production of Proof coins. The first Proof coins had a satin finish that was not well-received by the coin collecting community so The Mint switched over to brilliant Proof coins.

 

ty very much

 

The 1936 proofs were produced with BOTH brilliant AND satin finishes.

 

Isn't that what I said???

 

Yes, but in to many words.

 

Apparently.

I guess in the future I need to write my posts for people who watch 'Short Attention Span Theatre'.
