Do you have a bunch of old pennies in your possession and are trying to figure out which ones to keep?
While chances are most of your old pennies are worth only face value, there are plenty out there that are worth looking for.
In fact, some old pennies are worth hundreds of dollars!
Of course, you’ll have to look pretty hard to find the old one cent coins that are worth substantially more than face value, and the good news is that we’ll tell you about some of these valuable old pennies you should have your eye out for.
Old Lincoln Cents
Dating back to 1909, Lincoln pennies are the longest running United States coin series. However, over the course of more than 100 years, this tiny coin has seen several reverse design changes, including 4 commemorative designs that were issued in 2009 to celebrate the bicentennial of Abraham Lincoln’s birth.
The 3 reverse primary reverse designs include:
- Wheat ears (1909-1958)
- Lincoln Memorial (1959-2008)
- Union shield (2010-present)
Most of the valuable dates occurred among old Lincoln wheat ear pennies, and principally during the first 25 years or so of the Lincoln cent’s run. Values for these early Lincoln cents often start many hundreds of times the coins’ face value.
Here’s a look at some of the most valuable Lincoln cents and their values in Good-4 condition (unless otherwise stated):
- 1909-S VDB: $750
- 1911-S: $44
- 1914-D: $225
- 1922 no date: $725
- 1924-D: $37
- 1931-S: $110
- 1955 doubled die: $950
- 1969-S doubled die: $50,000 (Mint-State 63)
- 1970-S small date: $50 (Mint-State 63)
- 1995 doubled die: $10 (Mint-State 63)
Old Indian Cents
Struck from 1859 to 1909, Indian pennies are a throwback to an era when the value of a penny definitely meant much more than it did today. However, if you could transport yourself back to the late 1800s, when the Indian cent was in its prime, and carry back to the present day a handful of old Indian Head cents, you would have beat inflation. Unless damaged or discolored, almost any Indian cent is worth at least $1 to $2, and many are worth much more than that, especially if in well preserved condition.
Here’s a rundown of values for the scarcer Indian pennies:
- 1861: $23
- 1864 with L (for James B. “L”ongacre – the coin’s designer): $62
- 1873 doubled LIBERTY: $625
- 1877: $725
- 1878: $26
- 1888 Last 8 over 7: $2,650
- 1908-S: $70
- 1909-S: $450
While this list does not include every single possible valuable variety in existence (listing that many coins would take more than just one article!), this list is pretty inclusive of the most valuable coins that you’re likeliest to come across in penny rolls, old jars, boxes, drawers, chests, and collections. Good luck!

I have a Lincoln wheat cent 1909 and cant read the mint mark. but the coin is not red looking like other coppers. It looks like the 1943s. I have no idea why. Im scared to clean it and its not worn real bad just has something caked and hardened on it. why is it a silver in color and not red?
Rdlong,
My only guess is that somebody must have plated your coin with pewter, silver, or perhaps even mercury. Such a piece would be considered altered and therefore have no significant numismatic value. I would try to run your coin under clean, running water and then pat it dry with a soft towel to see if that releases the crud you describe on the coin.

Laura,
The value depends on its condition; I would take it to your nearest coin dealer and get a sight-seen estimate. Here’s a great resource for finding reputable coin dealers: https://www.pngdealers.com/dealersearch.php
I found a 1955 One cent peice (which I have already figured out isnt worth anything) and it got me interested in coins but im new to the coin scene so could you explain what the letters attached to the coins (on websites and such) mean ex: 1909-S VDB The S I know can be seen on the coin but what does the VDB mean?
Hi, Latonia –
Welcome to the hobby! To take your example, in the case of the 1909-S VDB cent, the “S” stands for San Francisco, which is where the branch mint that struck that coin is located; the VDB is the set of initials for Victor David Brenner, who designed the Lincoln cent.
Here’s a link to some more info about some of the letters on coins: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/mint_marks_letters_on_coins/

I recently found a 1943 steel penny with a small D under the year? Was wondering if the penny is worth anything?
Hi, Mark –
The “D” is the mintmark for the Denver mint; your 1943-D steel Lincoln cent is worth between 10 cents and $1 based on condition.
I have hunreds wheat pennies dating from 1910 to 1990s very few have mint marks but was wondering if anyone knows which exact years are the most valuable? I keep getting different years but would like to know exactly. Thanks!

what is a double die penny
Hi, Monica –
A doubled die penny is one that was struck by a die (coin stamp) that was imprinted twice by a hub (the mold that creates an image on the die). This penny will therefore have a double image on parts of its design.
Here is a more detail description of a doubled die coin: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/error_coins-2/
The second coin photo on the following post has an image of a 1955 doubled die penny, one of the most popular doubled die coins ever made: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/coin_collectors-2/
I have lincoln copper cent coin 1919 can you tell me what is it worth?
and the other one is morgan silver coin 1898
Hi Luong,
A 1919 Lincoln cent is worth around 15 cents and an 1898 Morgan dollar in circulated condition is worth around $25.
Thanks for your question!
Well i have a 1940 and 1948 cent and I dont know wat to do with it
Hi Noemi,
Your 1940 and 1948 Lincoln pennies are each worth about 3 to 5 cents if they are in worn condition. While they may not be worth much now, I’d still hang onto them anyway as Lincoln wheat cents are becoming scarce in circulation and may be worth more down the road.
I have found pennies in our collection dated from 1930’s all the way through 2000’s….Any idea of what to look for or how to know what I have on my hands….Very interesting!!
I LOVE looking for old pennies, Amy! Here are some of the pennies you ought to be looking for:

Hello, DG —
You might want to check out this link on “silver” pennies that are from years other than 1943: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/silver-penny/
I also have sever all brass cents too

I have a 1944 wheat penny
Two 1972 pennies that have a thinker border than most.
Hello, Ryan —
Without seeing photos of the 1972 pennies it’s hard to say for certain what caused the appearance of a thinner rim, but in the case of your 1944 Lincoln cent, it’s worth about 5 cents.
Thanks for your question!
Josh
I have a 1946-D penny, is it worth anything?
Hi, Tiffany –
A 1946-D Lincoln cent in worn condition is worth 5 to 8 cents.
Thanks for your question!
Josh
I have some 2007 and 2008 pennies. Some have a D under the date while others don’t. Are these worth anything or just regular pennies?
Hi, Brittney —
These are all regular pennies, but the “D” means the coin was made at the Denver mint and the lack of a letter on the 2007-8 pennies means they were produced at the Philadelphia mint.
Best,
Josh @ TheFunTimesGuide
I have two coins I would like to know more about. The first is an 1887 Indian Head cent coin, it is blue on one side and copper color on the other. Can you tell me what this is? Pic below. The second coin is a Gold 1911 D Indian Head Quarter Eagle. It was placed in a setting in 1914 and attached to a Ladies Gold Pocket Watch by Moulinie Geneva dated 1869, it was placed in a sealed plastic box in about 1920, it was just opened two weeks ago and the watch still keeps time. The coin has been protected by the setting and looks to have no flaws or wear showing I am not sure what condition the edge is in until the coin is removed from setting, looks real pristine. Hope you can help me identify the coin.
I have an American penny dated 1925 and would like to know the approximent value of it
I have five wheat pennies dates are as follows: 1920, 1941, 1946, 1954D, 1958D are these worth anything?
Hi, Mildred —
Yes, your Lincoln wheat cents have a nominal collectible value over face.
Here’s a rundown of values assuming each coin to be in typical worn condition:
1920 — 10 to 20 cents
1941 — 3 to 5 cents
1946 — 5 to 8 cents
1954 — 3 to 5 cents
1958-D 2 to 5 cents

I have an 1801 penny! Is it worth anything?
Hello, Maureen —
If you have an 1801 United States large cent, it’s worth at least $30 to $40. If you would like to submit a photo so I can confirm the identity of your coin, please feel free to upload an image here.
Thanks,
Josh
I have an 1927 penny…! is it worth anything…?
It is, Xavier! It’s worth at least 10 to 15 cents in well-worn condition.
I have a 1882 & 1897 Indian pennies what r they worth
Hi, Donald —
Your 1882 and 1897 Indian Head cents are each worth $3 to $5 in average circulated grades.
What great, classic coins those are!
Josh
Hi Josh were should the S be on 1975 one dime ? Above the date ??
As I have one but it doesn’t have s marking on it ..
Hi, Debbie —
1975 proof dimes have the “S” mintmark just above the fourth digit of the date. Would you please provide a photo of your coin?
Thank you,
Josh
I’ve sent photo few times
Josh not sure if your receiving them..
Kind regards
Debbie
Hi, Debbie!
This photo I see! You have a 1975 Philadelphia (no mintmark) Roosevelt dime. The rare 1975 no-S dime you’ve heard about is a proof variety, and not the business-strike issue seen here. Therefore, this piece is worth face value.
I do appreciate your tenacity in sending these photos. Thank you!
Best,
Josh
I have a 1970, 1987, 1956, 1984, 2009, 1975, and a 1964 penny. How much are they worth?
Hi i have a 1915 penny does it have a good value?????
Hi, Ruben —
That depends on its condition. At a minimum, your piece is worth about 10 to 20 cents but could be worth hundreds of dollars. Cleaning your coin will automatically cut whatever value it has by half or more.
Best,
Josh
Hi Joshua i have this 1969 s mint and well as much as i want it to be the right one i still dont know much on all the details. I’m wondering if you can give me some input & tell me what you’re thoughts on it. Here are some pictures i took Would this qualify as a D.D Error coin?
Hello, Cesar –
I’m afraid this isn’t the doubled die coin. The 1969-S doubled die has prominent doubling in the date and lettering on the obverse (“head’s side”). Your piece is still worth about 5 to 10 cents.
Keep checking your change!
Josh
Thanks Joshua
i found one similar to the picture displayed. it says 1944 and is copper. how much would it be valued
I have 3 pennies 1921 1917 and a 1893. Are they worth anything ? Also have 2 half pennies 1916 and 1936
Hi, Liz —
Are these pennies United States or British? I’m guessing the half pennies are British?
I’ll need a little more info please and preferably photos to ensure I provide you with the most accurate pricing estimate.
Thank you!
Josh
Hi Joshua. I really enjoy collecting coins (in my 5 gal water jug lol). Recently my grandson and I dumped it out and started looking at the coins and then looking up coins on the internet. I have found two pennies dated 1969-S. I have read that they could be worth upwards of 50k. Is this true? Are these really worth anything? I have attached photos of the coins.
Hi, Sara —
I love going through big buckets of pennies! Yes, it is true that some 1969-S pennies are worth $50,000 or more, but there are only a few of these. The reason they are worth so much is because they exhibit an extraordinarily rare design variety where the date and some of the lettering is doubled. While I can’t tell in the photos you sent if yours has this doubling, if you can send clearer images please and thank you I’d be glad to check for you!
In the meantime, you might want to look for some of these pennies, too: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/us-coins/

I have a 1902 indian head penny. Is it worth much? Even if it isn’t, I still like collecting them because they’re old
Hello, Nikki —
Assuming your 1902 Indian Head cent exhibits a typical amount of wear for its age, it’s worth about $2-3. Indian Head cents are fun to collect! Here’s some more info about them: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/indian_heady_penny_value/

I have this 1917-S Lincoln wheat that the L and the I are missing from liberty. What do you think?
Hi, Jacob!
Neat piece. First off, it appears in the photo that the surfaces are original, which is a great thing on an old copper coin such as this. I can’t get the image zoomed in large enough with clear resolution, but it appears the LI and missing due to a possible filled die error. If this is the case, your coin may be worth $2 to $3 to individuals who collect those types of anomalies.
Thank you for your question and photo,
Josh
i have 1958 1949,1952,1946,1956,1949 all with the letter d under the date and 1944,1940.1946,1947,1937 allare wheat penny are they worth

Hello, Geraldine —
Yes, your Lincoln wheat pennies are worth more than face value! Here’s a rundown on their approximate values, assuming they’re in average circulated condition:
•1937 Lincoln penny — 10 cents
•1940 Lincoln penny — 5 cents
•1944 Lincoln penny — 3 to 5 cents
•1946 Lincoln penny — 3 to 5 cents
•1946-D Lincoln penny — 3 to 5 cents
•1947 Lincoln penny — 10 cents
•1949-D Lincoln penny — 7 to 10 cents
•1952-D Lincoln penny — 10 cents

i have a 1946 bronze wheat penny could you tell me how much it is worth. plus it is in pretty good condition it has an s on it does that mean anything
Hi, Gavin —
Nice find! Your 1946-S Lincoln wheat cent is worth 5 to 10 cents in average circulated condition. The “S” is the mintmark for the San Francisco Mint, which struck your coin.
Here’s more info on mintmarks: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/mint_marks_letters_on_coins/

Hi, Billy –
From what I see in this photo, your cent suffered from blunt force straight-edge damage. This coin is worth 2 cents if it dates between 1959 and 1981 (the extra value is for its copper bullion) and face value if made since 1982.
Thank you for your photo!

Hi my name is Ron and I have a wheat penny but it’s from 1990 now I don’t know how that’s possible since it ended in 1958 except for a few in 59

Here are values for the Lincoln cents you listed above:
*1918 Lincoln wheat cent — 10 to 20 cents
*1937 Lincoln wheat cent — 5 to 10 cents
*1950-D Lincoln wheat cent — 3 to 5 cents
Values are for coins in undamaged, uncleaned condition with a typical amount of wear for their age. By the way, a Lincoln cent with no mintmark was, in most cases, struck at the Philadelphia Mint.
Thank you for your questions!

Assuming you have a well-worn 1937, 1937-D, or 1937-S nickel and don’t have the rare 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo nickel, your piece is worth about $1 to $2.

Hi, Paul —
It’s hard to tell without seeing this coin in hand what’s going on. At first, it looked as though someone had hammered another penny on top of this one, imparting an impressed design onto the front and back of this piece. While I think this might be post-mint damage, I suggest sending these images to error expert Fred Weinberg for a second opinion. Here’s his info: https://www.fredweinberg.com/

Thank you Joshua appreciate your time.
Hi Joshua, I found this 1971 d Kennedy half with some cud like imperfections on the top of the d on dollar and on the first l on dollar. A faint line from the top of the f to the top of the d. On half dollar. Is this a cud or die break error, or both.

Hi, Paul —
Yes, there is definitely something going on in between the “F” of “HALF” and “D” of “DOLLAR.” I’m thinking some type of damage to the die itself. I don’t know what the value of this piece would be — it’s pretty specialized. Value of course depends in this case largely on recognition that it’s a bona fide die break and demand for the piece, along with relatively rarity. I’d definitely hold it aside though.
Cool find,
Josh
Thank you so much for your time Joshua. What do you recommend I should do at this point. Should I send the image or the coin to Mr. Weinberg?
Thanks again Mr Joshua
Hi, Paul —
I suggest so… Email it to him (you can find him at fredweinberg.com) and explain whatever you can to him about the coin.
Fingers crossed!
Josh
Thank you so much for you help Mr. Joshua. Will do.

Hi I have a small date 1982 D that is double struck on the S in trust and the#2 in the date. Is that worth anything?

Hello Joshua,
I have a 1902 Indian head cent. How can I find what value it has? Also what is the best guide to determine coin values? I have a collection left to me by my mother. Your help is greatly appreciated.
Hello, Carl —
As for 1902 Indian Head pennies, they are generally worth $1 to $3 in typical worn condition and about half that if cleaned or damaged.
I think you’ll find the link below helpful, as it provides a hub of information on coin values ranging from United States pennies to silver dollars: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/us-coins/
All my best,
Josh
