Wondering which pennies are worth more than face value? And which pennies you should be holding onto, rather than spending?
Well here you go — a list of the most valuable pennies, each worth more than $1 apiece!
Use this cheat sheet to see which pennies are worth saving and which ones are worth spending…
Which Lincoln Pennies To Keep
Of all the coins ever made by the United States Mint since 1793, arguably the most popular and widely collected among them are Lincoln pennies.
The Lincoln cent (technically, only Great Britain officially has a denomination called the “penny”) is a favorite among collectors young and old, rich and poor. It’s also one of my favorite coins!
Lincoln pennies are the first coins I ever collected when I initially charted my path in the hobby back in 1992, and it’s by far the coin series I’m most often asked about from readers here at The Fun Times Guide.
If you want to know what your U.S. penny is worth, then read on!

Here are the most important types of Lincoln pennies you should be keeping:
- All Lincoln wheat pennies made from 1909-1958
- All Lincoln Memorial pennies made from 1959-1981
- Copper Lincoln Memorial pennies made in 1982 (These weigh 3.11 grams versus 2.5 grams for the pennies made from copper-plated zinc)
43 Most Valuable Pennies — By Date
So now that you have a good idea of which types of pennies to keep, you’re probably wondering about specific dates.
Well, here’s a cheat sheet of the most valuable pennies to keep. Get ready… it’s a long list!

*Values are for problem-free coins in a grade of Good or better, and uncirculated for those dated 1959 and later.
As you’ll notice, there are several dates missing in the list above.
The pennies that aren’t on this list are worth only a nominal amount — usually between 3 cents and $1.
The list above also doesn’t include proof Lincoln cents — which you wouldn’t ordinarily find in circulation.

Other Valuable Pennies Worth Money
In addition to the pennies mentioned above, here are some other pennies worth money:
- 1943 Lincoln Cents

4 Places To Find Rare & Valuable Pennies
Do you know where to look for the most valuable pennies?
Here are 4 of the best places to find rare pennies:
- In rolls of coins – Roll hunting is one of the best ways to find old coins, and sometimes the pieces you’ll find are quite valuable. I’ve found many old and obsolete coins by searching for them in rolls of coins.
- At yard sales and flea markets – Many people have no idea which coins are rare and they often end up selling them unwittingly in a rummage sale or flea market. You’ll be surprised how many bargains will be found at both yard sales and flea markets. Just be sure what you’re buying is authentic!
- In a family heirloom chest – Sometimes rare coins are already in the family, and may be tucked away in an old chest or another safe location. Attics and basements hold troves of valuable estate coins, often unbeknownst to the current occupants of the home.
- In your pocket change – Rare pennies do still turn up in circulation, though you’ll need a keen eye and a good deal of patience to find them this way. Good luck!

I Found a 1938 penny in my change, and I was wondering how much it is worth.
Hello, Connor –
Nice pocket change find! Your 1938 Lincoln cent is worth around 5 cents.
Thanks for checking!
I have a 1975 one dime no s mint, how could i know if ir have a high value?
Hello, Israel —
If you found it pocket change, it’s 99.9% likely it’s only a Philadelphia (no mintmark) dime, which is very common and worth face value if worn.
Thank you for your question,
Josh

Hello, Israel —
You have a Philadelphia-minted (no mintmark) 1975 Roosevelt dime that’s worn and therefore worth face value. The 1975-D and 1972-D dimes also pictured are circulated and thus also worth face value.
Thank you for your question and photos,
Josh
very useful and clear the truth, I thank you very much in addition to the guidance that you give us who we ask.A greetings and success!
https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/95527b995618e919d457f43d7715affe535b27f4e99e83e83e3a27ab6b20651c.png
I tougth this Coín Is different and I read one of this was sold by 350,000 but i didnt know the difference betwen a Coín proof and Coín of stop workers.
Thanks you. : )
Hi, Israel —
There are several technical differences between proofs and business strikes (the latter being what yours are), but the most basic differences are that modern proof coins have mirror-like surfaces and frosted designs and they also have squarer-shaped rims and more defined details than circulation strikes. Yours being a 1975 Philadelphia Mint Roosevelt dime (no mintmark), it’s worth face value in worn condition.
Best wishes,
Josh
i found a 1967 s series penny. i heard that this particular penny is very valuable, is it true or is it just wishfull thinking?
Hello, Cassie —
1967 Lincoln cents were made without any mintmarks, so it’s possible your coin may have been counterstamped (imprinted) by somebody outside of the mint. Would you please share a photo of your coin so I can determine what you have?
Thanks!
I have a 1776 Centennial Curency pewter coin How do I find out if it is real. An elderly man who died had it. He was an influential man.
Why should All Lincoln Memorial pennies made from 1959-1981 be kept? What is the significance?
Those were the last fully copper pennies. From 1982 on, they are merely copper plated over top of a zinc disc.
The only reason to hold these coins is that they contain 95% copper and are worth about 1.7 cents each at current retail prices. BUT … It’s illegal to melt and sell pennies, and even if you could you would receive the metal’s wholesale price which is a lot lower.
What about a 2007 Lincoln penny. On coin trackers it said it is worth 1300. Please respond thanks
Hello, Bob —
The CoinTrackers site is talking about a very select few 2007 Lincoln cents, though I don’t feel they are saying this very clearly because a lot of people will see $1,300 for a 2007 cent and assume THEIR certified (or slabbed) 2007 cent is worth that much.
What should be said about the value of 2007 cents is that worn versions are worth face value (1 cent). Most uncirculated specimens have a value between 10 cents and $1, with pristine examples worth more. I suspect the $1,300 value would likely apply to a 2007 cent grading MS 70, which is numismatically perfect. To my knowledge, there are perhaps 4 or so such graded coins out there.
I hope this clarifies the matter better!
Joshua @ TheFunTimesGuide
Silver 1943 coin how much is that worth
Hi, Destini —
You have a 1943 steel cent? Your coin, if worn, is worth 10 to 25 cents.
Thanks for your question,
Josh @ TheFunTimesGuide
Hi, is 1995, 1980 or 1989 worth anything?
Hi, Amanda –
The 1980 Lincoln cent is worth about 2 cents due to its copper value. Heads up, be sure to keep all pre-1982 Lincoln cents, as their copper value is currently worth about twice face value. Caveat — it’s illegal to melt pennies for their copper value, but many people are holding these coins aside anyway in case the laws change.
Here’s some more info about old copper Lincoln cents:

How about a 1858 or may say 1853 cant make it out. Has a eagle on one side and a wheat picture with ine cent on the other
Hi, Patricio —
You have an 1858 Flying Eagle cent. Based on its condition, the value would range from roughly $3 in well worn, damaged condition into the hundreds for a nice, lightly circulated specimen. I suspect if you’re having a difficult time reading the date the coin may have lightly damaged (maybe porous) surfaces, so I think it might be worth closer to the lower value I suggested than the higher.
Best,
Josh
I have a question. Example: When i research about the 1944 D penny in any other website, it says it’s worth $6. Why is that?
Hi, Ben —
I’m not sure what any other website is, as I’ve seen all types of prices for the 1944-D. One site, for example, tends to use a so-called “perfect” grade (which technically isn’t even the noted adjective of any coin grade) to describe the value of its coins. The $6 value refers to a very well-preserved uncirculated specimen, which is not one anyone will find in pocket change.
The 5 to 10 cent value is an accurate appraisal of a 1944-D Lincoln cent that is very well worn and displays its usual brown color. (Note — cleaning coins cuts their value in half or more, so making it look lighter will not increase its value in any way!).
I hope this helps explain some of the factors that go into the coin values listed here at TheFunTimesGuide.
Please feel free to ask any other questions about coins you may have!
Best,
Josh
I have a double die 1989 penny and several 1987 . were these bad years? So many errors. 1989 is my concern all of back has errors.
Hi, Wanda —
Would you please post photos of the coins you have that appear to have errors?
Thanks!
Josh
I have a 1990 Lincoln penny an it doesn’t have a “S” or “D” mint mark. …would you know if it’s worth anything. ..
A 1990 cent would be made of copper-plated zinc so it’s only worth face value.
The only 1990-S cents made were proof coins sold to collectors. If you had for done in change it might be worth a few cents as a curiosity but proof coins are generally collectible only in they’re in their sealed packaging.
what should you do if your wheat penny has bronze disease or verdigris? i realize that cleaning it will devalue it, but leaving it will cause further damage and also spread to other coins.
Hi, Abigail —
That’s unfortunately a really tricky spot to be in. Acetone, which I recommend using very carefully and in a well-ventilated location, is the most conservative route to go. After that, there’s a product called Biox that I haven’t personally used but have heard can remove verdigris; again, I can’t attest to the efficacy of this product, but I know it’s an idea: https://www.dirtyoldcoins.com
Unfortunately, verdigris is a byproduct of a chemical reaction with the copper itself, and it can spread to other coins. So, I’d definitely make sure you divide any coins with verdigris from those that are still apparently unaffected.
Best,
Josh
Thanks for the advice. Even though my wheaties aren’t worth much, I still love them!
6 coins to talk about…. First a 1952 d penny, 1962 d nickel, 1968 d penny, 1996 urraca penny, 1970 s penny, and a 1937 plain wheat penny
Hi, Sabbir —
Here are approximate values for your coins, assuming they are worn and are not errors or die varieties:
*1937 Lincoln cent – 5 to 10 cents
*1952-D Lincoln cent – 3 to 5 cents
*1968-D Lincoln cent – 2 cents
*1970-S penny – 2 cents (if large date), $15 (if small date)
*1996 Lincoln cent – 1 cent
*1962-D Jefferson nickel – 5 cents
Best,
Josh
it isn’t a 1996 lincoln penny! it is a 1996 Urraca penny
My apologies for misreading, Sabbir! A 1996 Panama/Urraca cent is worth about 10 cents as a foreign coin in the U.S.
Best,
Josh
thanks i got a dime
for penny
Hi Josh I have over 400 something coins nd I would like the now the values
I have a 1965-1968 Washington Quarters nd some
1965-1967 dimes nd a

1941D 1960D 1962D 1964 1964D 1968D 1969S nickel nd hv a lot more
A few months ago i told you Josh that i have a 1979 s i want to post a photo as soon as possible
Sounds good, Sabbir!
I was helping my mother-in-law go through some coins and I came across this 1931 cent with an odd thing in place of the “1” in “19”. I tried to take a picture of it, but the preview looks pretty small. i don’t know to make it bigger. hopefully it will post bigger and you all can see it. any one have an idea what it is?
Hi,
I can’t tell for certain without getting a really close look at that first “1” in the date, but it appears this coin MAY have been manipulated or altered in some way outside of the U.S. Mint. A closer image on that part of the coin, if possible please, may help me ascertain precisely what is going on.
Nice catch on the date,
Josh
Hey Josh, my names Leslie. Do you buy coins with errors or are you just here advising? I have a few coins, if your interested. How can you tell a double die coin?
What is a Lincoln penny worth if the Capitol is half struck over Lincolns face?
What you may have is a “flipover” strike. That happens when a coin doesn’t eject from the press but instead turns over in place and is struck a second dime by the opposite die. However without a picture or in-person inspection it’s difficult to be more specific.
P.S. It’s the Lincoln Memorial rather than the Capitol. 🙂
Dale, actually the Capitol DOES appear on the 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cent — the fourth and final commemorative reverse design released for one-cent coins during that year. If you don’t mind, sir, please upload a photo of your coin so that I may see what might be going on with your coin.
Thank you!
Josh
Mea culpa, I should have given a more-detailed response.
My assumption was based on the fact that Bicentennial cents are uncommon in circulation, combined with the number of times I’ve encountered people who aren’t familiar with what building is on the back of standard Lincoln Memorial cents.
How about 1963?
Hi, Bella –
1963 Lincoln cents are worth 2 cents for their copper value.
Best,
Josh
Hello my name is Rachel. I think I may have quite a few error coins in a collection of old and new coins my dad gave me. Im new at coin collecting it has become a fascination with me I hope to learn a lot about the history of them. I have many that I’d love for you to look at…but for now ill mention 2 that are odd
* 1974 d Lincoln penny all looks good but it has the face of JFK facing Lincoln.
* 2013 Lincoln penny, Every time I look at it I see more it seems. I know for a fact the face of Washington, and Jefferson along with a extra Lincoln face are on this coin . I’m pretty sure I can see part of JFK face as well. It looks as if someone is scrap booking . Because the extra faces look holographic and the Washington I can see his eyes and top of his head , they are on the side of Lincoln s face….??? 🙂 can u tell me if they are worth saving please or just sell them?
Hi, Rachel!
Welcome to the hobby! It sounds like you have a lot of neat coins on your hands and thank you for checking with us about them. The two coins you mention are called novelty coins, as they are real coins that have had post-mint work done to them.
The 1974 cent is one of the more “common” types of novelty cents and was sold as a “Lincoln-Kennedy” tribute coin. Here’s some more info about it: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/lincoln_kennedy/
The 2013 sounds like a modern colorized coin.
While the coins are technically considered “altered” or “damaged” by die-hard numismatists, they still have a bit of value to those who collect novelty coins. I’d put the values at around 25 cents to 50 cents.
Please feel free to ask any other coin questions you may have!
Best,
Josh
My wheat penny collection has grown… do u know where do I sell some of my wheat pennies. I want to buy more coins I’ve seen but also I don’t know where to buy from that won’t take advantage of me being a beginner at collecting coins.
Hi joshua i found this pennies one have the date bu i can tell what is the last number look like 6,8, or 9
Hi, Saul —
I think the coin you’re uncertain about is the top one, which is a 1951-S. That’s worth 3 to 5 cents in that grade. The other coins are worth face value, but I would hang onto the 1978-D Lincoln cent for its intrinsic copper value, which is worth approximately double the coin’s face value.
Best,
Josh
HI, my name is diamond and I have a 1999 wide “AM” penny but it has a D below the date. Is this still worth $500 as indicated above? If so is there any way I can cash it in or do I just hold on to it?
Hi, Diamond —
There are no known 1999-D Wide AM cents… Would you mind posting a photo so I can see what might be going on with the reverse side of your Lincoln cent?
Thank you,
Josh
Hi! I have a 1979 Lincoln penny that where the “D” mint mark is, it is filled in the center of the “D” so it kinda just looks like a dot. Does this anomaly make the penny worth more?
Hi, Denise —
Die chips and die cuds such as the one on your coin are worth between $3 and $5.
Best,
Josh

Hi! I have three 1944 S and one 1944 D pennies, what are these worth?
Hello, Huen!
1944-D and 1944-S pennies are each worth 5 to 10 cents if worn.
Best,
Josh
1944 D /1944 S in good condition ,what are they worth the chart above says $125 in good condition am I correct
Hello, David —
Yes, that is correct, though an approximation of value; your individual piece may be worth more or less based on wear, surface condition, and other overall grading factors.
Cheers,
Josh
I have a 1973 penny that looks like it’s double die on both sides. Is that possible?
Hi, Anna —
Possible, but unlikely as this is not yet an attributed die variety. Would you mind posting a photo of your coin here, please, and then I can see what might have caused its unusual appearance?
Thank you,
Josh

Here are the pictures if the 1973 Lincoln Cent I believe to be double die. I also have a pink colored 1995 Jefferson nickel. Hopefully the pictures show what I see. Thank you! https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/66714510da838dc5b82e0a92300523744db235011f1365d921c56eb82a8be1c9.png E
This is the pictures of 1973 cent
Hi, Anna —
From what I see, it appears to be a minor die disfluency; these are worth between 50 cents and a dollar, usually.
Best,
Josh
Thanks Josh. With his leg broken, the triple lines on the first column and thickness of the FG on the reverse the the clipped letters and date on the obverse I thought it looked like a double die
i got one from 1969 some value?
Hello, Edwin —
A 1969 Lincoln cent is worth at least 2 cents for its intrinsic copper value; a piece in mint condition is worth about 10 cents and up.
Best,
Josh
I posted pictures of the 1973 cent you requested.
Hello, Anna —
Perhaps I’m checking in the wrong spot, but I don’t seem to see that photo of the 1973 cent anywhere.

Happy holidays
Hello, David —
What were you researching about these coins? It sounds like something that you believe might make them worth a lot of money?
As for grading and providing other information about these coins, it’s always really helpful for me to see both the obverse (heads side), as well as the reverse (tails side), the latter of which you kindly display here. As for grading, the Lincoln cents appear to be in Extremely Fine-40 to About Uncirculated-50 grade, and the Jefferson nickel looks to grade around Very Fine-20. These appear to be fairly recent dates (made within the last 50 years), and unless they contain a rare die variety (which I don’t see at this point looking at only the reverse side of these coins), they would be worth face value if worn.
All the best!
Josh
I’m sorry Josh I meant 2007 and 2007 D on them pennies and the nickel was in the 25 category on the nickels worth
David Neilson
hi josh, i have another penny i would like to find out about please it is a 1969 d penny it appears to have a floating roof, but that is one of many odd bits about this coin. my question is do you think these are mint errors or post mint damage? i am pretty sure the floating roof thing is a mint error but the rest?
Hello, Rhonda!
Well, it looks like this 1969-D Lincoln cent has led a pretty tough 46 years. The roof the Lincoln Memorial does appear a little different than on most other Lincoln cents I’ve seen, though judging by the gouges and pits elsewhere on the coin, I believe this effect may be a byproduct of the damage, or perhaps caused by damage to the coin in those areas. Most compelling to this aspect is the gouge at the top of the two rightmost columns, and the slash across the fifth column from the left.
While the coin is worth face value, I think this penny could tell a tale worth more than one cent if it could talk!
Best,
Josh
i thank you for your reply. now might be a good time to ask: is there some sort of guideline i could employ to determine whether damage to a coin is mint or post mint?
thank you again for your valuable time and opinion.
I have a penny where the E is AND I
where the e is supposed to be the
E pluribus
It doesnt look run down but like a defect
Please post a photo of your most interesting-sounding coin and I will try figuring out what you have!
Thank you,

I placed it on a mayonnaise jar top
and stood it on it’s side.
So you can see it is not a worn down e
But and I or almost like boot.
Hi,
I would agree that the faded appearance is likely a die strike weakness and not merely due to circulation wear alone. So, yes, it is essentially a Mint defect, but unfortunately not one worth any premium at this point. My best advice at this time is to hold onto your coin, as its value may increase down the road.
Best,
Josh
I hope that it can be premium
but if you saw it in person or i had a better camera
it is the shape of a boot
I think I can auction it off as Lincoln boot penny
I also have two other rare pennies you have on your list.
i enjoy collecting but i am not particularly into defects
1992-D close “AM” ??? Says worth $500 above?? Also a 1992-D Wide “AM”
Hi,
The obverse photo is great but the reverse image is unfortunately a little blurry on my end to tell the distance of the “AM” in “AMERICA.”
If you wouldn’t mind trying to retake the reverse image and uploading the mulligan shot, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thank you,
Josh
Thx Josh for your reply. Got a pretty good shot of the back of the coin. Maybe it’s “WIDE AM???
wide am is open space between the a and m
you have a close a and m there is no space between the two.
Hi!
OK, it looks like you have a “Wide AM,” which on a 1992-D cent is a common variety worth face value if worn. The “Close AM” 1992-D cents, meanwhile, are worth about $25 and up.
Best,
Josh
its closed they are touching
but the photo is very blurry
I have 9 wheat pennies which include 1940, two 1944’s, 1946, 1948, 1952, 1953, 1956, and a 1958 what could be there values??? and i have two 2009 bicentennial of formative years that never been touched (perfect condition) could you please tell me some values?
Hi, Book –
All the Lincoln wheat cents you mention are worth 3 to 5 cents each in typical worn condition, while Mint State 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cents are worth around 10 cents each in standard uncirculated condition. Exceptional pieces are worth anywhere from $1 and up.
Best,
Josh
I have a penny where Lincoln is reading on the back. Front is faded, so don’t know the date. Is there any value to this penny Josh?
Thx
Hi, Deb —
You have a 2009 Lincoln Bicentennial cent — 1 of four different designs made during that year to honor the life and times of Abraham Lincoln. If you coin is worn, it’s worth face value. Here’s some more info on this fascinating coin series: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/2009_lincoln_cent/

Hi Joshua I’m sendin this to ya to get your honest opinion. I’ve found this 1988 quarter that has a few issues resulting from the factory press. What it looks like it has bubbles on each opposite sides, as if someone shoot it with abullet on both opposite sides. This quarter also has a small piece of metal still attached to the rim. It has been around in circulation for sometime and not that of a collector. I would like to know if it is worth anything, if so to whom may I contact to sell or if it is just face value. I’ve enclosed a few pics and if at all a possible video clip. Can’t wait to hear from ya. Sincerely, A Novice Collect Sherry Lantrip
Hi, Sherry –
Thank you for submitting the fantastic photos. Given the overall appearance of the coin, my thinking is that this coin was exposed to intense heat, causing the internal copper and nickel cladding to expand and separate, thus causing the bubble.
While this coin is not worth any extra money, I hope this answer nevertheless helps solves the mystery! Keep on checking your change — there are so many interesting coins in circulation.
Best,
Josh
Thank you.
Hey buddy, I have almost the complete 1941-1974 collection including a 1940 wheat reverse. I don’t care to sell I just figured you might be interested in knowing you have a mutual enthusiast in collecting. If your interested in seeing any pics of any of my coins, feel free to shoot me an email. My email address is jamesrigsby133@yahoo.com
I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Their value in money is of little interest to me as I have ZERO interest in ever selling such a collection as I have. My name is James by the way.
Hi, James!
It’s great to hear from you. The 1941-1974 Lincoln cent collection is one of my favorites. Thank you for introducing yourself and for checking out The Fun Times Guide to Coins!
Please feel free to post any coin photos or ask numismatic questions here whenever you wish!
Cheers,

I wouldn’t mind a little help building my collection and completing my 1941-1974 collection. Any way you can point me in the direction on where to get the rest?? I own the 1943 wheat penny as well. As you know, a very desirable coin. Unfortunately I do not currently have it in my possession, but when I get it from my holder, I can send pictures.

i have a fun one for all. it is a 1995 D penny. now is it just me or does Lincoln look like he is smokin’ a doobie?
Hi, Rhonda —
This appears to be either a minor die chip or perhaps a “strikethrough” error (caused when a piece of debris lands on the die that imprints designs on blank coins). Such a piece may fetch $1 to $2 from a die variety collector.
Nice find!
Josh
1921 wheat cent with mark on center reverse. I think it resembles an S. The obverse looks normal (not bent like if it had been punched buy something)
Hi, Anna —
The “S” is actually a post-mint indentation. The coin, however, is still worth 10 to 20 cents due to its age and overall scarceness.
Nice find!
Josh
Thank you!

Hi, Guenifi —
It appears that this coin is discolored; it is worth face value.

Hi sorting through some old pennies. Is this 1973 a unique one? Thank you
I received change today from a transaction at a store. I have been collecting coins for fun for several years now and have several with errors. Today I received a 1975 Dime with no mint Mark. While I’m aware these were very rare a few years back, are they more common now or should I have it checked out? Also, any knowledge on 20.00 coins minted in 1812? Unable to find anything on this coin from my parents collection.
Thanks and look forward to your response.
Hello, Rhonda —
You have a 1975 Roosevelt dime minted at the Philadelphia Mint; the Philly Mint did not place a “P” mintmark on dimes until 1980. In worn condition, as yours is in, these pieces are worth face value.
As for the 1812 $20 coin you’re asking about, I’m not exactly sure what you have as the first official U.S. Mint $20 gold double eagle coins were not struck as patterns (just one made) until 1849 and released for circulation until 1850.
Would you mind posting a photo of the 1812 coins?
If you’re working a cash register, you must come across some pretty interesting coins just about every day! I suggest you check out this list of U.S. coins worth more than face value; perhaps you’d be allowed to switch out same-denomination coins?

curious to see what my wheat penny is worth, 1919 s penny. i can see detail in his hair, and the back of the coin i can see the feather and lines very clear, does not have much wear that noticable. can anyone help? thank you.
I have a 1919 s wheat penny. Lincoln’s hair is very detailed still and the back of the penny has almost flawless detail in the feathers and lines. curious if its worth anything, thank you!
Hi, Albert!
This is a fairly well-preserved circulated 1919-S Lincoln cent! I would suggest that it is worth somewhere between 25 cents and 75 cents.
Great find!

now is really from list up above?
Hi, Shane —
I think there may be something I’m missing from your question/comment; you mentioned the list in this article. If you’re looking for the value of this gorgeous uncirculated 1944-D Lincoln cent, I’d put it at around $1 to $2.

Hi, Mario —
The article you’re commenting from (https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/valuable-pennies/) should tell you virtually everything you need to know about the pennies that are worth more than a few cents each. I hope you have some of these 43 dates!

Hello! I pick up a lot of coins from off the street, and am thinking of going through them to see if I find anything of value. A couple years ago I found an Indian penny from 1909, but it’s in pretty bad shape and so probably doesn’t have much value. If I do find something that isn’t too beaten up, where could I possibly go to sell them? Thank you!
Hi, Margaret —
If you find anything you want to sell, I suggest listing them either on eBay or selling them to a coin dealer.

I have one of “those” pennies. A so called, silver penny. I have performed and evaluated what we call NDE or non destructive examination. Things like X-ray, UT (ultrasonic thickness testing), PT (or DPT dye-penatrent testing, and one of my favorites, PMI (positive material identification). Lots of neat little things that keep critcal welding applications in order. You can look at 316 SS pipe fitting and see the 316 stamp but how do you know? It may be a lower grade like 304, 308 or 347 which is good but it changes what you fuse it with and can ultimately prevent failure. I say that to say this. The PMI “gun” I refered to would tell me the exact percentage of the pennies composition per the periodical table of elements. Cu, Zn, So, Ni or whatever but I am retired and no longer have access to it so I leave it to you. I am in including a few photos and have many more. It’s a 1976D. It’s unmolested counterpart is also a 1976D. I have pictures of it side by side with a 1943 which has lost it’s copper coat and a 1943S with most of the coat intact. It weighs 3.08 grams (the “silver” one) its accomplice weighs exactly 3.11. They are both in very good condition and I doubt the .03 is due to wear. One other thing. The planchet is off close to 10 degrees from obverse to reverse. It can be seen by clamping the Montecello level in a vise and looking at the obverse. Liberty, Lincoln and the date are off by quite a bit and Liberty looks very slopy and is not on the same plane as the date. I’m pretty sure we can rule out a dime by the weight and appearance and a nickle by the weight and thickness. It’s possibly plated but weighs less than a normal one. As I said, the condition is very good and wear does not appear to have had any affect. So if it’s plated, especially with mercury, I would expect an increase in weight if any change at all. My scales are accurate to + or – .01 grams. What do you think? I put several examples of copper shade variations because depending where it comes from the color changes a little. Hence the “red cent”. Thank you,
Mark
Here are some photos.
Hi, Mark —
Based on the photos, it appears the coin was chemically discolored before it wound up in your hands. While I can’t see your coin in person, I have seen others like this and that is what the testing indicates. Actually, this piece looks normal in terms of design; LIBERTY and the date aren’t supposed to be on the same plane on the Lincoln cent. As for the 10 percent die rotation, that isn’t particularly unusual and seems to be within tolerance for that era.
As for the 1943 cents, they don’t have a copper coat, but rather have steel cores coated with a thin plating of zinc. Where the zinc coating comes off is where rust often forms on the exposed steel — a brownish color that may have the appearance of copper.
Ultimately, if you want to have the 1976 cent coin tested by a third-party coin grading company, by all means do so. However, I am pretty confident, based on the information and the photos, that the coin’s metallic appearance was lightened by chemicals.
An interesting anecdote here is the 1981 Philadelphia cent — millions of those blank planchets were washed by a detergent at the Mint, giving them a light, dull appearance that under certain lighting may look silvery. Yet on the metallic level they are every bit a “normal” bronze Lincoln cent.
I hope this provides at the very least some insight.
Best,
Josh
Hello, Mark –
It sounds like you did some extensive testing on this to say the least. Indeed, the photos would help, and I’d be curious about the strike quality, etc. — strike quality and appearance will tell me several things, including if the coin may have in fact been manipulated in some way (plating still comes to mind), or — perhaps — is a counterfeit; such pieces are notorious for strike/quality issues.
I look forward to seeing photos and hopefully providing more substantive insight or opinions.

Hello, Love the site, I started going through BOXES of pennies from my grandmother and grandfather. I’ve looked at SO many and I’ve fallen in love with coin hunting again. I just found this one, I’ve never gotten into finding all the “rare” kinds, I only ever picked up and tried to collect one from every year/mint as a kid. Older now, I’ve read a lot more about pennies. Is this a real 1955 double die? I only see extra on the second 5. Everything else looks “normal” to me. Maybe the “W” in we looks off? Just looking for advice. VERY excited to hear what people think!
here are the pictures
Hi there, Rob!
Whoa, I can definitely see why you hung onto this piece. Unfortunately it is not THE 1955 doubled die, which has doubling visible in all four digits of the date, obverse lettering, etc. However, your piece does appear to be a Poorman’s Doubled Die (caused by machine doubling). Still worth about $1 in most collector circles, it’s well worth hanging onto.
Wishing you all the best in your collecting ventures! Feel free to post your interesting finds (and coin questions) here!
Good luck,
Josh
P.S. Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your numismatic enthusiasm here!
Hi Josh, I have a question about a penny I recently came across, it’s a 1979 D with a small extra well, it looks like a small double lobe at the bottom of the ear. Maybe it is a double strike? I can’t find anything about this year/error combination online. Is this a common error? Thanks.
Hi, Christine —
I researched several different die variety resources; while I can’t find any attribution for this particular design anomaly, that doesn’t mean it’s not a doubled die. However, given the impression between the “main” lobe and “secondary” lobe,” I’m inclined to think there may be post-mint damage here.
If you want to make sure, you might consider sending your coin to John Wexler, one of the nation’s foremost experts on doubled dies. For a small fee, he will evaluate any U.S. coins that contain interesting design issues. Perhaps he may be able to help you? Here is his link: https://doubleddie.com/
Good luck!

I just tried to get a pic, it’s not really a good photo but I think you can see at the bottom of the ear what I’m trying to explain
Hi I just wanted to see if this 1946 penny was worth anything?
How much is this worth it is a 1972 penny I don’t know if it is a double die 1972
Hi, Jackie –
This all varies. A regular, worn 1972 Lincoln cent is worth 2 cents for its copper value but more than $150 if it’s a doubled die. I don’t seem to see a photo of this coin attached to the comment, so unfortunately I can’t provide much more detail about the worth of your specific coin.

Hi, Bianca —
Assuming they are worn and have no unusual issues, each of your 1944 Lincoln cents is worth 5 to 10 cents each. If you should decide to sell them, you might try selling them at a local coin dealer or on an auction website such as eBay.

What’s a 1940 wheat penny with no letter mean?
Hi,
What it means is it was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, which did not apply a mintmark to coins in 1940. Your coin, assuming it is worn, is worth about 5 cents.
Thank you for your question,
Josh
I have a 2013 U.S. Penny with no mint mark. Wonder if it is worthy just the face value?
I’ve attached a picture. It looks like maybe something got on it too.
Hi, MG —
Yes, there is some type of chemical damage on the coin, and that is why it is mottled in appearance.
Best,

Hi, MG —
A 2013 Lincoln cent without a mintmark was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, which doesn’t place mintmarks on its one-cent coins. Your piece, if it is worn, is worth face value.

1995 close proof “AM” any value
Hi, Quizie —
This doesn’t appear to be a proof, and the spread (or lack thereof) between the “A” and “M” in “AMERICA” looks normal for a 1995 cent. The oddity would be if there were more space than usual, resulting in a wide “AM” appearance.
I hope this helps provide a little info,
Josh

Hey Joshua
I found these coins in my grandparents things I’m wondering if there worth anything.
1945-D and S
Hello, Monica!
Yes, both of those coins are worth a small premium over face value — 5 to 10 cents each. Even though they may not be worth much monetarily at this point, these coins would make great keepsakes from your grandparents.
All my best,
Josh
ok . so here is the list of pennys i have , are they worth anything.1990 no mint mark,1983 d , 2 1963 pennys1 d mint 1 no mint,1965 no mint,1980 d penny,1990 no mint mark, 1994 no mintm 1996 no mint, 1985 no mint, , much thanks,
Hi, Christine —
Assuming all of these Lincoln cents were found in pocket change and have wear, and also on the assumption none have any errors or other design varieties, only the 1963 and 1965 cents are worth more than face value (2 cents each); the rest are worth face value.
Thank you for your question!
Josh
Hello, Josh. I have a penny that I am wondering if it is a mint error or if it was most likely “destroyed” by someone. The picture isn’t very good, but it has 2 parallel grooves that come down and wipe out half the date. It only shows “19”. If this is a legitimate error, would it be worth anything? Thank you so much!!! P.S. – it is a wheat penny.
Hi, April —
Yes, as you wisely suggested, these are indeed post-mint damage marks. Luckily, there is no Philadelphia date (no mintmark) in the condition that would be worth very much anyway, with the exception of the 1922 no-D cent; this piece, based on the photos, doesn’t have other surface diagnostics that would suggest this to be a 1922 plain penny.
Thank you for your question and photo!
Josh
Thank you so much, Josh! I appreciate your taking the time to answer my question. Wishing you all the best! April
Thank you, April! And the same to you!

HI Josh…one more question…I have a 1970 penny with an extremely interesting error. The “0” is markedly flattened at the top, in line with the “7”. Would this be worth anything?

Hello Josh, I have a quick question about the 2008 D penny. Is it true that this is quite valuable in mint condition? I was able to get a hold of an original sealed roll of 2008 D…I was wondering if this is a good find. Thanks so much! Wishing you well! April
Hi, April —
2008-D Lincoln cents CAN be valuable if they are in top condition — the best of the best mint state grades (MS-67 and above). Otherwise, they are worth face value if worn and between 20 cents and $1 in most lower Mint State grades.

How much off-center (percentage wise) is your 1972 cent? If you could upload a photo please that would be most helpful.
Thank you!

i have taken photo i would very much enjoy if you have some time, i know your busy, im patient person, thank you for all that you do
Hello, Josh – I have several coins I need to have evaluated. I was wondering if I could contact you privately with pictures and pay you for your services. I feel like I’m taking advantage with all my questions. I have some indian-head cents, some wheat pennies with interesting errors, a 2008D in pristine condition, and some off-center strikes (1982 and 1983). Would you be willing to take a look for me? Also, what would your fee be? Thank you, Josh! I appreciate your help so much!
Hi would like to know if this is an error
I’m not a coin expert, but I’d say no. Chances are it’s just worn like most pennies.
Hi, Nicca —
From what I see, the coin has a significant amount of post-mint damage, including corrosion. This piece can be spent as a one-cent coin at face value if you choose.
Thank you for your question and the great photo!
Josh
Hello, Josh. I have an 1873 AU Indian Head penny. I cannot tell if it is closed or open 3, even though I have a book with an example of the types. There is evidence both ways to my untrained eye. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
Hi, April –
The right tail of the “1” in the date touches the “8,” making this an open 3. In AU, an 1873 Open 3 Indian Head cent sells for about $180.
Nice coin!
Josh
Hello again, Josh. Could this possibly be a DDO 1936? Again… my untrained eye cannot tell! Thanks so much!
Very interesting… There appears to be a break in the “R” of “LIBERTY,” but it is in the opposite direction of what the doubled die diagnostics call for. Unfortunately, the photo is a tad grainy as I close in for more details on the date and rest of “LIBERTY.” I’m not ruling this out as a doubled die at this point, but would either need to see a clearer photo, please, if possible, or suggest having the coin inspected in-hand under 5X magnification.
Good luck!
Josh
Hi Josh! Thank you so much for your help! Here is another pic…I’m not sure if it is much better than the other one, but I tried. Of course, I will take your advice and have it looked at under 5x magnification. Thanks so much again!!!
One more…would this count as a broad/off-center strike 1983? Thanks!!!
Hi, April!
Yes, it is an off-center strike; the one unfortunate caveat here is that the coin isn’t really off center enough for it to have any additional value over face. Usually, off-center errors increase in value once the strike is about 10 to 20 percent off.
Great find nevertheless!
Josh
Yet another…sorry! Lol! Could this be some kind of D/S D/D variety of the 1944? Thanks a million!!
Hi, April —
Hmm.. It looks like a possible die chip near the “D” mintmark, but unfortunately I don’t see the diagnostics in the photo indicating a D/S variety. This piece would be worth about 10 cents.
Keep on checking your change!
Josh
I have 2 1982 pennies missed struck , can you tell if they are worth anything?
Hi, Javier —
They are both 3 to 5 percent off-center. While indeed an error, the off-centeredness is not great enough to significantly increase their values; each is worth face value. Nevertheless, great finds! Keep looking for those types of errors.
Best,
Josh
Hi Joshua I have a 1945 wheat back penny that on the front there is a deep hole that goes from the fore head area to the collar and above the hole level with the surface there are blobs of copper and two long drips of copper that extend across the hole. On the back there is a peanut shaped blob that covers part of the E and most of the N in cent. most of the T and all of the ED is covered in United. Can you tell me is this worth anything. I also have a dime that the last 2 numbers of the date look to thick to tell and the IN and WE are the same. Also several letters of LIBERTY are the same . Is this worth anything? Thank you for your help. I am not a collector I just came across these.
Hi, BagLady —
I can tell you that the 1945 wheat cent with the hole has unfortunately suffered from some extensive post-mint damage and is worth essentially only its copper value (two cents). However, I am interested in seeing a photo of that dime that has the lettering that you say appears thicker than normal; that may be a die variety.
Thank you!
Josh
Is this penny that1944 it look like its missing the L in liberty worth money
Hi, Jesus
Hmm… It seems like I can see the “L” in “LIBERTY.” This looks like a fairly typical 1944-D Lincoln cent worth about 5 cents. Sometimes the “L” on Lincoln cents appears squeezed into the rim, and this is a rather standard example of that.
Thank you for the question and photos!
Josh
I have a 1994 penny that look one side is thicker then the other
Hi, Jesus —
Your coin was struck 3 to 5 percent off center, causing the rim to look thicker on one side. This piece is worth face value.

hi again josh, i found a 1969 penny which is missing (or nearly missing) the L in liberty.
is this a desirable error?
thank you for taking the time for a newbie.
sincerely,
rmcmahan
Hi, Rhonda!
I’m afraid the missing “L” is in part due to a standard die strike weakness and further obliterated due to post-mint damage. Nevertheless, this 1969-D cent is still worth hanging onto for its copper value, which is worth about two cents.

Josh
I have a1968 quarter and the Y In Liberty looks different is it a double die?
I have a 1968 quarter and the Y looks different on Liberty is it a double die
Hello, Jesus —
Thank you for the photos. Based on the evidence of post-mint grooves on the obverse, it appears this coin has seen a bit of wear and tear in its time. The diagnostics check this coin out as a regular strike, and because it is worn, this coin carries no additional premium over face.
Keep checking your change, and please feel free to post questions or photos of anything else that looks out of the ordinary!
Good luck,
Josh
I have a 1971 quarter is it worth anything
Hi, Jesus —
This 1971 quarter appears to be a normal strike and has a significant amount of wear. This piece is worth face value and is safe to spend if you so choose.

Josh
I have a 1972 P nickel and the seven and two looks double
Hello, Jesus —
The addition of the photo is appreciated. I think it is a tad fuzzy as I zoom in, so I really can’t tell from these images alone. Perhaps if you could upload a photo of the obverse/date with a little more clarity I might be able to zero in and give you a more definitive answer.
Thank you!
Josh
Here hopefully is better pictures
I added more coins can u give me info on them please
hi, i work at a gas station and i guess someone turned in a deceased ones penny collection. i have a few notable wheat backs but already know the value. thru my coin roll hunting this one struck me as kinda odd. its not the spaced out 99 so it doesnt have that going for it lol. but it does look like something maybe.
especially in you look at “in” and “god” besides it saying “berty” and ‘1999″ being messed up, resembles a double die to me. whats your take?
Hello, John —
This is an off-center piece with extraordinarily weak details, and it appears a filled die in the “LI” of LIBERTY. I haven’t seen a piece quite like this in some time. What makes this piece most interesting to me isn’t any one attribute — the coin is only a tad off center, the weak details are usually a detraction value-wise, and the missing LI would be of only minor value addition. Rather, I find this coin interesting because it seems to have a lot of things going on at once. I think I even see some type of die break near the third “9.”
May I see a photo of the reverse? I want to see if there are any issues on the back of the coin.
I don’t believe the coin would fetch much more than $10 if sold to a dealer based on what I’ve determined here from what I can tell in the two photos you’ve posted so far, but it nevertheless is an interesting coin.
Neat find!
Josh
thank you for reply, this one just stood out the most to me. also just found it crazy it was roll after roll of wheat backs. i feel sorry this guy that lost his collection in that manner too. he obviously loved coins, and could only imagine what else the bank took in. this ones going in my silver collection as i feel i should hold onto it for luck.
Hello, John —
The unfortunate thing is that this happens every day. There are a lot of heirs and heiresses who have not the first clue about the coins that come into their possession.
Often, the ones who pass these coins on have/had a thorough, life-long love for the hobby, and their collections sometimes fall into the hands of people who see the coins as mere pocket change. This is one reason why it’s actually not impossible to find some very old, scarce, and rare coins in pocket change; it’s usually not that the coins have escaped detection for decades, but rather they recently entered circulation after being parted out from a coin collection.
At any rate, it sounds like these coins have found a safe, new home and I’m glad you’re now their steward.
Keep on checking your change!

Two questions: Are pennies before 1970 worth more than their face value when they are not worn and should you keep all “S” coins, no matter how worn? And Why?
Thanks for your time!
Hi, Gulinky —
Actually, all Lincoln cents made before 1982 are worth more than face value (2 cents) due to their copper value. Circulated S-mint Lincoln cents are sometimes trading for 3 to 5 cents each, though this is more an exception than a rule at this point. The reason some (not all) S-mint Lincoln cents are worth more than their Philadelphia- and Denver-mint counterparts has to do with their overall lower mintage figures, making them generally harder to find.
I hope this helps answer your questions! Please let me know if you would like further clarifcation.

Josh
And while I was metal detecting in my backyard, I believe I found a coin from 1795 in a MS-63+ condition. I’m really not sure how much it is but I think an estimate might be 1-3 thousand?
One Question: i have a 2009 Lincoln Presidency Penny and i dont know if it worth
Hi, Edwin —
If you found it in circulation, your 2009 Lincoln Presidential life cent is worth face value. Uncirculated pieces are worth about 10 to 20 cents.
Best,
Josh
Okay also the cent is missing part of the letter “E” it look like more like a “F” when it say “LIBERTY”
Idk if the cent was made like this or not! What you think?
Possibly, however, this is most likely a circulation thing.
Cheers!
Hi, Edwin!
It looks like there is some weakness in the strike, but nothing to the point where there would be any additional value for this piece.
Thank you for your question and photo!

Hi, Danny —
It depends on if you have an 1873 “closed 3” or “open 3” Indian Head cent. The former is worth about $20 to $25 in well-worn condition while the latter is valued at about $15 to $20 in the same condition. You can submit a photo of your coin here if you need help identifying it.

Hi Josh, I have this 1909 wheat penny with the initials of Victor David Brenner (VBD) below the wheat stalks. Can you tell me if this is worth anything?
Hi, Tia —
Given its condition, your 1909-VDB Lincoln cent is worth about $5 to $7.
Thank you for your question,
Josh
If you have an S on the front, you will find the coin to be extremely rare, and you can sell for a great premium. Otherwise, stick within to 5-7 dollar range.

Hello, Saurab —
Here at The Fun Times Guide, we focus mainly on U.S. coins and thus I may not be of too much help with several of the issues you listed. However, I would be happy to assist with the United States coins. With the four coins you listed as “LIBERTY” coins, so you by chance have any information on the denomination,(s) of those pieces? I’ll need to please have that info to provide you with valuation data.
Thank you so much!

The 1946 Lincoln cent is worth 3 to 5 cents and the 1972 cent is worth 2 cents for its copper value. The others are worth face value.

Hi,
I have this 1958 penny I believe is a doubled die. I took pictures with different lighting to try to catch what I see. Note the VDB is not there either. Thanks
Hi, Anna —
I wish I could see what you see in regards to doubling, but I’m afraid there is nothing evident on my end. The letters appear thick, but as I zoom in (great clarity by the way with the photos — thank you) I see signs of post-mint damage in the scattered marks and such.
The missing VDB under the shoulders isn’t all that uncommon with worn specimens of 1950s Lincoln cents; I have seen several like that so I’m not too surprised that they aren’t evident here.
As far as I can tell, this piece is worth 2 to 3 cents, but if you’d like to provide some insight on where you see the doubling, I’d be glad to zoom back in and take a look with you again.
Thanks!
Josh
Thanks Josh.
Cozy magnifier app on phone is great for coin studying. The problem I’m having with posting other pics showing different angles is that the files are too big to upload. I took some with negative effect & it shows what I’m seeing in person.

Hi, Anna!
I do see signs of possible machine doubling in the date and lettering. If that is indeed the case, I would suggest your coin is worth between 5 and 10 cents.

Hi guys,
I sort through hundreds of thousands of pennies keeping the coppers and rejecting the zincs based on weight. The zincs almost always weigh 2.5 grams and the coppers weigh 3.1 grams & 3.0 grams if worn. I use a weight scale as my eyes are old. The 1983 cent weighs 2.9 grams. No other cent I’ve checked weighs close to 2.9 except Canadian 1980 & 1981 at 2.8 grams. Any help on how to proceed would be appreciated. Thanks
Hello,
If you’re confident about the 2.9-gram weight of the 1983 cent, then I would definitely suggest getting it evaluated by a third-party coin grading service. Here’s an article outlining a few of the major reputable grading and authentication services: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/slabbed_coins/
Good luck!

Hey guys I’m just trying to find some help with pricing a few coins my grandfather left me here are a couple photos included would really love some help on this
Hello, Travis —
You have Morgan silver dollars, which were minted from 1878 through 1921. The 1921s are each worth $18 to $20, though the 1879 Morgan dollar could be worth more based on its mintmark. The mintmark indicates what branch of the United States Mint the coin was struck, and is represented by either one or two tiny letters under the eagle on the reverse (“tail’s side”) of the coin.
If you want, you could submit a photo of the 1879 dollar reverse and I could look for you.
Good luck,
Josh
Would having them graded make any difference in their value? They seem to be in great condition
Hi, Travis —
I’m afraid not. While Morgan silver dollars are indeed desirable and collectible coins, they are really quite common in the scheme of things and are not really worth anything significantly more unless they are scarce dates (which is why I wanted to check the 1879 dollar reverse to see what its mintmark might be if any) or are in uncirculated condition. All grading does is verify the authenticity of the coin and labels each piece with a professional grading opinion, but that won’t necessarily change the amount you would get for these coins.
If you would like assistance in determining the mintmark of the 1879 dollar please upload a reverse (tail’s side) image and I’d be glad to check..
Best,
Josh

Hi, Barbara —
Your 1988-D Lincoln cent was heavily worn, exposing its zinc core (Lincoln cents made since 1982 are made with copper-plated zinc). While this piece is worth face value, I encourage you to keep looking for coins that appear out of the ordinary. You may strike it big with a rare error or die variety sometime!
Happy collecting,
Josh
Thanks. I thought that too upon first looking at it but wasn’t sure. It only weighs 2.4 too so I’d say yeah its seen some wear. I also found a 1982 D lincoln weighs 2.5, all others I’ve found with this date are still weighing 3.1, so does that make my 1982 D that weighs 2.5 rare?
Hi, Barbara —
Great question about the 1982-D cent. The 3.1-gram copper composition was changed partway through 1982 to the 2.5 zinc-based alloy. About 1/3 of 1982 pennies were made with the zinc composition, and a third of 16 billion is still certainly a pretty large number(!) So, while there are fewer 1982 cents made from the lighter zinc composition, they aren’t by any means rare. I hope this helps to clarify things a bit!
Please pst any other coin questions you have, and I’ll be glad to help.
All my best,
Josh
Hello, I found this weird 1996-D penny that sticks to a magnet. Is it worth anything and should I keep it?
Hi, Morena —
Very interesting. This appears to be a normal Lincoln cent on the outward appearance, so I would be curious what the metallic composition might be; perhaps there is a thin plating on it that consists of magnetic metal. Are you able to kindly provide a weight on this coin, down to the hundredth of a gram please?
Thank you!
Josh
Hey josh… I just weighed it and it weighs 2.6 grams
Hmm… That seems to be within normal tolerance, especially if the scale weighs things in tenths of a gram. Interestingly, the coin appears normal in color and surface, so I think the next step would be having the coin evaluated in-hand by a numismatic professional.
You could stop by a local coin dealer and see if he or she can take a moment to see what’s going on. Here are tips on how to find a good coin dealer: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/coin_dealer/
And here’s a searchable list of coin dealers: https://png.memberclicks.net/find-a-png-dealer
Save that, you could also have your coin inspected by a third-party certification service, though they will usually charge about $12 and up.
If you’re curious, here’s info on the various third-party coin grading companies: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/slabbed_coins/

I have some pennies from 1983-1999 can you explain what AM wide and close are? And how can you tell if it’s double died?
Thanks!
Hello, Sam —
Wide AM and Close AM refer to the proximity in spacing between the bottoms of the letters “A” and “M” in AMERICA on the reverse, or tail’s side, of the Lincoln cent. Generally, Close AM specimens show the bottoms of the two letters touching each other, or nearly so. With Wide AMs there is some degree of spacing.
As for what doubled die coins are, this article explains them with photos: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/doubled-die-coins/

Hello, Ger —
The apparent double column you see is part of the design and replicates the area in the Lincoln Memorial where Lincoln is seen sitting in his huge chair. The faint line is supposed to be there. The coin otherwise looks normal based on the image but is worth holding onto due to its copper value. In fact, all pre-1982 Lincoln Memorial cents are worth about two cents due to their copper content.
Thank you for your question and photos!
Josh
Ok thank you so much! I have a 1999 no mint mark Lincoln Memorial that i think is doubled die on majority of the letters and need your expertise on it. Ive got a picture of it,hopefully it’ll be ok.

Hi, Ger —
I know there are several double die varieties for the 1999 Lincoln cent, and this one has diagnostics that (so far) look to match at least one of them. However, you say the doubling is on the majority of the lettering? If that’s the case, then it is likely machine doubling, as indications of true doubled dies are usually confined to certain regions of the coin.
If you can kindly submit any other images of the coin, that would be most helpful.
Thank you!
Josh
Hi Joshua thanks, well i looked again and it doesnt appeard to be doubling on the majority of the letters and only on some here are a few msore pics. Hopefully this can help identify it.

Hi, Ger —
Based on the photos, the 1999-D cents in these images appear to be replicas. In-hand evaluations would confirm, but I’m pretty confident about this.
I hope this info helps.
Is this an abrasion die? If so is there a value to it? I saw this on the referenced article about the 1999 penny and am now curious to see if these could be those similar clash marks.
On another note, 1999 D penny, the size of this particular penny is however the size of a quarter and there are color differentiation and it weighs about 2.5 grams. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d405fd9f59825530e45ea6161e57bdc3f0d20231be8715f6ce1a35fed247d482.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/190d5fb39c6a3a9bb85d655a5b72a3bdd823a50964496ca1947290d0c298eb29.jpg

Hi, Ger —
It seems the 1994-D Washington quarter has post-mint damage shearing some of the letters. The bronze piece is a History Channel medal — those same pieces sell for $3 to $5 on eBay. I can’t place the Washington medal, but it likely has a value of $1 to $2, as do similar pieces.
Thank you for your questions and photos!

Hi, Ger —
Based on the photo, I see shelf-like doubling, which indicates this is most likely machine doubling. A view of the entire coin would be helpful to check for any other signs of doubling on that piece.

Not in the best condition, but I was wondering if the 2 with D’s on them were worth anything?https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1fa8b5c848b59da9477907a90c2a5c07d177ab834565fbdce67a1275242fb1e6.jpg
I have a 1994 penny, the words LIBERTY and the year is not stamped all the way. Is this just from circulation or is it an error. Also the coin is off center alittle bit, do you know what the value of this coin would be?
Hi, Sylas —
It’s possible the coin was struck with a partly filled die, causing part of LIBERTY to be obscured. I would need to kindly see a photo of the coin to be sure it isn’t altered by post-mint damage. You can post any photos of your coins here in the comments forum.
Thank you!
Josh

Hello, Vasilii –
The 1970-S Lincoln cent appears to be a large date, which would be worth 3 to 5 cents. The other 1970 Lincoln cents pictured are worth about 2 to 3 cents.
The 1983 Lincoln cent on the right side of that image appears to have a die break up Lincoln’s shoulder. Such a piece would be worth potentially $1 or so to a collector who enjoys such die anomalies. The other post-1982 cents imaged are worth face value.
Thank you for your questions and photos!
Josh
Why this penny are worth nothing https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a4ba3f29c727f47daee87e6a171af1683755b76399bd22362731a05da7de3d7c.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/793113c1e2524fd0c7f7ab967fb9d6e2dcd7e301fcffe02b91e9a7171e62b2f4.png https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/cec4777bc82b380f8c8cdd110c325f30d246112e9f4aa0153c3860a234968697.png
Hi, Vasilii —
This is a normal Philadelphia-mint 1990 Lincoln cent, which is supposed to have no mintmark, and thus it is worth around $1. The popular and rare 1990 no-S Lincoln cent you may be referencing is a collector’s example known as a proof coin. A 1990 no-S proof Lincoln cent is easily distinguished from a 1990 Philadelphia-mint Lincoln cent by the sheen of the coin. The 1990 no-S proof cent has mirror-like surfaces and is worth $2,000 or more based on its condition.
I hope this info helps!
Josh
These aren’t in the best condition but I was wondering if the first two are worth anything? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1fa8b5c848b59da9477907a90c2a5c07d177ab834565fbdce67a1275242fb1e6.jpg
Hello, Jessica!
Yes, these are worth more than face value — 5 cents each. I love picking old wheat cents from pocket change. Keep your eyes open for more!
Thank you for your question and photo,
Josh
anyone know , about how much is a penny that is half zinc and half copper would be ?
Hi, Angel —
The value of such a piece would depend on the coin itself. From a bullion perspective, the value would be pretty small, assuming the coin isn’t very large.
If this is a question about a specific coin in your possession, would you please upload an image of the coin you’re inquiring about?
Thank you,
Josh
sorry i thought it was a penny , it’s a dime https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1de2c54b1ff0c096f72144947ddbe27de6ded71ad178d72702b39a75899463c6.jpg
Hi, Angel —
Your Roosevelt dime is actually made from a composition consisting of copper and nickel. The layers of metal you see on the side shows the cladding of the two metals, with copper (orange/brown) on the inside and nickel (silver/gray) on the outer sides. This is normal on all Roosevelt dimes made for circulation since 1965.
This piece is worth face value.
Thank you for your question and photo!
Cheers,
Josh

Hello, Katie!
Great question! This looks like one for noted die variety expert John Wexler to check out. Here’s a link to his website: https://doubleddie.com/
Good luck!
Josh
Thanks Josh! I did find some errors on the reverse as well. Did some research and found this article. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ca92d4023c82c70a54389a39c6d5ebf39903f6c08cc1fa5dbc94fb26c6e400ce.png

Hi, Katie!
Yes, this is very exciting news for die variety specialists and it really means we all should be looking at our newly minted coins even more closely! Who knows how much these coins will be worth or how rare we’ll determine them to be as the years go on…
Good luck,
Josh
Are these anything 1959,1960,1969 and 1985 quarter. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d839aa839e4bcc171579377b6d0c389b2b95a5e50f75cbf8dfe23a1f3ef45e5d.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a6f1b4588c134b5319ef3ff6c6ae35a353cf079e1d447db65cbbe8e47521fa55.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/be0c307c00ab3592f7a205a625577f6c82da0fe677d8fb04eb16f6b918835bfb.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/df5ca3bbaec60195d0297e6f7f046892e58c16fa159da116d9d4e5deb372d9e1.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7e5422f18a685412433b2172675564ce6637bf107ee40c104bfed7206f3c31d9.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6112a109dbaf51957a1b32b0a453c9326e687f6428d2b6ce10b8f1af899120b0.jpg
Ger, if you don’t mind me asking how do you take your photos?
Microscope?
Hi, Ger —
Here’s what I see based on the photos, in order of each photo:
Photo 1 – Machine doubling
Photo 2 – Machine doubling
Photo 3 – Post-mint damage
Photo 4 – Post-mint damage
Photo 5 – Post-mint damage
Photo 6 – Machine doubling
While I can’t see the full coins in any case to determine overall value, none of the things I listed for each photo really adds any value to any of the coins.
My best wishes!
Josh
Is this 1992 no mint mark dd on the letter t? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/def16ae7fe0cb5f571c4426ed4002df6df8d42bea8a7452b17a59c9deb241b1c.jpg
Hi, Ger —
Hmm… I’m not sure. I don’t see similar doubling on the letters nearby but since I can’t see the entire coin in this shot it is hard for me to attribute. It might be worth sending to die variety expert John Wexler for further insight in this case. Here’s the URL: https://doubleddie.com/228401.html
Good luck!

Hi
Please can you help me out to find is this coin is rare or not? Thanks

I have 3 coins I hope you could give me feed back on them as far as error and value. My first one is a 1989-D cent everyone who has seen this coin say’s it’s a good conversational piece. My second one is a 2007-P dime and the third one is a 1776-1976 bicentennial quarter is this one what they call a die crack at the bottom of the neck .jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8df9cfb70aa67333858e38588cbded54e79f0c4e1ec528c098786b002b6893b4.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/30711882b018d784ae0e703baadc516717a7e1564aad1cc950747affc0b6d1bc.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3a1260bb1f105c631b7c8f01707f89ce089d8ccfff525c699f0ff45f78177ab4.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a302433cdfe4ca2460ca242b63d428fddfb44ceb0268440b35d9e3e8aaeff93e.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9c61f2a801778c3e055d2f87cc88b14caca6b52621bab874192a8be391dd6683.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/33d635e58015b0834039c58cbcdaf97732692d45545192019a8d5aac3cf34fa6.jpg
Really great finds, Sandra —
While the 1989 cent exhibits what appears to be signs of environmental damage, the 1776-1976 quarter from every indication indeed has a die crack, and I see what looks like a die cud/die crack of some sort under the next near the “P mintmark on the Roosevelt dime. Values for these coins could be $5 to $10 or more.
Awesome work! Keep on checking your change!
Josh

Anyone seen something like this before
Hi, Matt –
I’m trying to determine the anomaly with this coin. It appears this coin exhibits some light striations across the obverse and dark spots (possibly oxidation/corrosion). What about this coin stands out to you? I’ll be glad to inform as I learn more about what made this coin appear unusual to you.
Thank you for your photo!
Josh
I have a couple of 83 pennys that seem to have some discoloration and do sent seem to be dirt. Can you tell me anything about them and if there worth anything? https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8a75b00da829ff82c34674a0280b908c81ab40fb44e58df2f6a9fd1821f0acf1.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8a75b00da829ff82c34674a0280b908c81ab40fb44e58df2f6a9fd1821f0acf1.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ddd447d921b7098aa5ba841f7666ef661e159ef6ddfbafcf793ef21837ba9f00.jpg
Hi, Teri —
Such discoloration is pretty common with the zinc Lincoln cents made since 1982. I don’t see anything really abnormal here, and these pieces should be worth face value.
Good luck,
Josh
Hello, Andres —
The price you’ve seen on CoinTracker is a very specific price for just one that has sold in a transaction. The price range for a 1944 steel cent is generally $75,000 to $150,000, depending on condition. Would you please post a photo of your 1944 cent so I can help you determine what you have and what it might be worth?
Thanks!
Josh
I also have a few 1944 steel wheat back and 1 1944 s steel wheat back and would like to know what they be worth
sorry …I thought mine where 44 but after digging them out they are 1943 steel
Hi, James —
Would you please submit images of these 1944 steel wheat cents? 1944 steel wheat cents are extraordinarily rare. While having a few of them certainly isn’t impossible as a couple dozen or so exist, it’s very unlikely. I’ll have to see for sure what you have to provide you with a decent value estimate.
Thank you,
Josh
I have a 1983 penny with extra “copper” over the in God we trust. U fortunately I cannot upload a picture. Where can I get it checked out in long Island ny?
Hello, Kim —
Would you please post a photo of your 1983 cent with the “extra copper”?
Thank you so much for your question — I look forward to hopefully helping you further with your inquiry.
Best,
Josh
Anyone know anything about a 1990 no S penny? Like… If they’re not marked with an S or a D, then they’re worth a lot more than a penny?
Hi, Michelle –
The 1990 no-S proof collector cent, which has mirror-like surfaces, is worth around $2,500 to $3,000. If you found your Lincoln cent in pocket change, it’s in all likelihood a business-strike 1990 Philadelphia cent, which has no mintmark and is worth face value if worn.
Best,
Josh

I decided today to clean up some B&L Galen Microscopes to sell on ebay. I decided to look at some pennies, and photo some at 40X to post with my listing. I was looking at a 1992, and was surprised to see what appears to be a close AM variety. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/387194890b78d3326126cdcfc598cabf70d570650e3f19475ba70405c7c1e015.jpg
Hello, IThink4Myself —
This looks very encouraging and looks like it may be a Close AM variety but I highly recommend an in-hand inspection of the entire coin before getting too excited. I suggest submitting it to a 3rd-party coin grading company or someone like John Wexler, a coin variety specialist who does in-hand inspections.
Here’s more info on this…

Hey there josha I found this 1973 penny today and I noticed that liberty was cricket any idea of its value if any https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a642fb770cf372e5a3c3f8c87fe3a0d708a0ac7ad6ff0310b9e60c2ec026f5ae.jpg
Hello, Francisco —
The image appears a little dark so I can’t see for certain, but it looks like an ordinary coin, but one that is well preserved, and I think possibly uncirculated. Assuming you have an uncirculated 1973-D Lincoln cent, it is worth about 20 cents.
Best,
Josh
Thank you but I ment to send you this 1 its a 1973 no mint mark I found this other ones today any value again thank you for your time https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/befe883435dc055836dad0e0c672e6b01ee0d52a980a712f11aff680d05b62cd.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4c021301aa9e146631cdd843196e5e1ca2445951ad33fb12574a986a3970abef.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a6b1f308fb5ea54d88740c7b679374c490810cf611a45106e47d2fd13b37ab6a.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
These are all uncirculated Lincoln cents… The 1973 Philadelphia (no mintmark) Lincoln cent is worth about 20 cents, while the 1959-D penny has a value of about 25 cents. The 1989-D Lincoln cent appears to exhibit some extreme bubbling of the copper coating, which was applied to the coin’s inner zinc core. This type of error has a general value of $2 to $5.
Awesome finds!
-Josh
Thank you josh what do you think of these any value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bb46af872d851ae60de615cf2f7dc63e6d115063875fca62d10aecb59bd8c946.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fb8e20f83ab211764d7a243015b4bf0d0c797c3d986e1103aee1fa29e13c0ca6.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4fdb2587cf4b52e54eddfd4e63954448972c0ad60717b31a66c8b875f16f52db.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a308c4f0d643636e68a82786dcabba60b5e8cd5785c62aab14c0b4e78679d108.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/62ac9472a8bcc53c390f03841b9cb95dad36012d58b100465dba5e8e1b28d134.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
The 1954-S Lincoln cent is worth about 20 cents and the 1957-D nickel has a value of about 25 to 30 cents in those grades. The 1957-D cent looks like it has been plated with a silvery colored metal, no? If so, it’s worth 2 cents for its intrinsic copper value.
Best,
Josh
Are these worth anything?

Hello, Francisco —
The 1954-S Lincoln cent is a so-called “BIE” die break, in which a crack between the “B” and “E” in “LIBERTY” formed, causing the appearance of the “I.” While these are a more common die break, they’re still worth $10 to $15.
The 1970 cent appears normal, and so does the 1959-D cent. I would like to please know the date of the Canadian cent so I can see if there are any attributed error varieties from that year.
Thank you!
Josh
Thank you its a 1998 Canadian penny im having trouble uploading pic of other ones i wanted u to see https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c0dd8ed2e347be5faa0e5c28b06b7a93ca7e070cce9caf39808bf4694a8ab5fe.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/608a87ab93f71cc6021e03ac05398cbeaa6cb3751d1ed867869ae1c4de012cc6.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
The 1993 cent has a post-mint drilled hole in it and is worth face value. The 1950 Canadian cent appears to have machine doubling and is worth about 10 cents.
Interesting finds!
Josh
Thank you
Hey there josh I found this one today I think its a 1992 d close am not sure what do you think if so what’s the value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/8d37b28afa2cd77d4225402f35c479dd3b6ff4a717fce3d4ce23c38f98e66c4d.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
I’m afraid this is a normal 1992-D cent worth face value. On the Close AM variety, it appears the bottoms of the “A” and “M” are virtually touching.
Thank you for your question,
Josh
1969 s can you see the doubling??? Thank you josh https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/4f70b36fc219d7e4dd3a18ea39b939a01e7c144cd8f0cc44701b0d2f40a3c125.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
This photo, while helpful, is a bit grainy; would you please upload a clearer image if possible? I DO see doubling, but can’t tell if it’s a doubled die coin or machine doubling (not valuable).
Thank you and good luck!

Hi, Francisco —
I’m sorry, but the 1990 penny is actually a 1990 Philadelphia (no mintmark) cent worth face value. The 1987-P Jefferson nickel does have some incredible detail; I’d need to see the coin at different angles to check for wear on the high points. The reverses of the Lincoln cents you examined as double dies are grainy on the blowups; is it possible they might be rescanned at a higher resolution please?
Thank you,

Hi, Francisco —
I don’t tend to use a camera app for most of my coin photos; I use macro lens on a Canon for many of those; so, I’m not sure what to suggest without personal experience. It looks like you’re doing a pretty good job as it is. I see some beautiful russet and possibly green toning on this coin. The market is variable as such high-end pieces aren’t traded as often as lower-grade, more common fare. I suggest getting it certified by a major third-party coin grader mentioned in this article: https://coins.thefuntimesguide.com/slabbed_coins/
I hope this info helps!
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
I don’t think any of these coins have any errors, though the 1976-D Jefferson nickel may have some light machine doubling. Such pieces are normally not worth anything extra.
I don’t see the extra “3” on the 1955-D Lincoln cent… Hmm.. Where do you see it on there?
Thanks,
Josh
Any value on the 1958.any value to this 1) 1998 has a lot of bumps 2)1962 real nice 3) 1955 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/52ead709c53e1cfd7d65b98c19bb7fd5a645c85392a7ed01416e195944730438.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/302f35d6394254a666bda78c704481e0a4815fe3539ddff7e4e68d74e4e662d0.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/76bd04f5182d916dd7cef79cfa159eab7a0b813958d3960a1abc495610bce9bb.jpg

Hi, Francisco —
The 1955-D Lincoln cent is a so-called “BIE” error, created when a die break occurred between the letters “B” and “E” in “LIBERTY.” These are usually worth $5 to $10. The 1998 Lincoln cent shows extreme gas bubbling between the zinc core and outer coper layer, and these coins sometime command $2 to $10, based on whether the buyer is particularly fervent about collecting such pieces. I don’t see the obverse of the coin represented y the last Lincoln Memorial cent photo. What year is that coin, please?
Best,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
All but the 1962-D cent is worth face value because those pieces are worn. The ’62-D penny is worth 2 cents due to its copper metal value.
Cool finds out there!
Josh
I have this 1969 d and s that look to have some doubling and a 1919 s any value the 1919 looks like it has doubling https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c9d246d6ca586ba4afb2b3c943061cb89a30f19e5f7d8e5087d697b48dbef11b.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0ba5438037c7199afec840a14870bc77389ecbf8093e08b697bfb6b220f0558b.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/39787743b436bcd7e681418b45e8a61ff5a9438b81390237e43c1c0d040777e7.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/74ceea3b1b965c298c0f0bf0f887908623b4d2d30f58118cd176eb61dce5f31e.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9978d3bf57bc75cd6b55f60add71667944ef1d8bfda72046c4b90332de4b6ce4.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c5dc29d1ba211f075d3c8b64f2f617a98aa96b6fa6415100bd9f13f0a4c01b3a.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
I don’t seem to see any doubling on these coins in the photos. I can say the 1969 pennies are worth 2 cents each for their copper value. The 1919-S cent is worth 10 cents.

Josh

Hi, Francisco —
The History Channel Club medal is worth about $2 to $3. The 2004 Canadian quarter is worth about 30 cents to American collectors, and the Cayman Islands coin is worth 10 to 20 cents.

Hi, Francisco —
The 1975 Lincoln cent has a post-Mint counterstamp. This particular one illustrates the geographic outline of the state of Minnesota and is a novelty coin collectible worth around 25 cents.
Assuming it’s authentic, the 1905 $10 gold eagle is worth around $650.
Great coins!

Hi, Francisco —
I don’t seem to see anything out of the ordinary with the dime, but the 1982-D cent looks like its uncirculated and would therefore be worth at least 15 to 20 cents.
Nice!

Hi, Francisco –
The 1964 penny is severely corroded and the 1995 penny has some extensive post-mint damage. Each is worth face value.
Interesting finds!
Josh
Josh quick question I fond a few 1983 that weight 2.61 and 2.60 most of them weight 2.50 or 2.49 the ones that way more are nicer looking and the other one have a lot of stuff on them any idea why?
Hi, Francisco —
I’d have to see the individual coins to provide a more thorough reply, but the general answer is that there are some variables in the metal weight tolerances, and any circulation wear could also affect the coin’s overall weight.
Hope this info is helpful,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
The 1990-D Jefferson nickel has some discoloration likely due to environmental damage. The 2016 Canadian nickel is worth about 5 to 10 cents as foreign coin (in terms of United States numismatics).

Hi, Francisco —
Here are my opinion on these coins, based on what I see in the images:
1978-D Lincoln cent — 2 cents
1982 cent — If copper-based, 2 cents; otherwise face value
1996-D cent — Rippling in the copper coating? Probably not noteworthy enough to add value but might bring in 25 to 50 cents from a collector who enjoys such anomalies.
Thank you for your question,
Josh

The staining and chipping on these Lincoln cents is due to environmental damage, and the coins are worth face value. Still, these are very neat finds!

Hi, Francisco —
The 1959-D Lincoln cent doesn’t really stand out as anything very extraordinary on the numismatic front, but the 1992-D cent is interesting because it seems to show machine doubling and therefore is a late die state that was struck on a very bubbly planchet; from what I can tell this is not a doubled die. It’s perhaps worth a couple dollars for being so abnormal and the type of piece an error collector might find interesting, but from what I see in the photo, I don’t believe it is worth spending $15 to $40 on certifying; again, this appears to be machine doubling on the coin, as far the photos suggest. If you’d like, you might want a second in-hand opinion and could try running it by variety expert John Wexler: https://www.doubleddie.com/

Hi, Francisco —
I don’t think I see anything abnormal about the 2005 bison nickel though it does have some heavy patination. It’s still worth face value as far as I can tell. I do see doubling on the reverse of the reverse of the Lincoln cent, though it appears to be machine doubling. I’d hang on to it anyway.
Thanks for your questions and photos,
Josh
Thank you josh

Hi, Francisco —
The 1983 Lincoln cent shows some bubbling/rippling and is probably worth $1 to an error collector. The 1954-S Lincoln cent is very nice and in what appears to be red-brown uncirculated condition. I’d suggest its value is between 25 cents and $1 based on the surface condition, which could be better ascertained in-hand.
The other coins appear normal and are worth about face value.
You’re making some great finds!

Very nice, Francisco —
*1958 Lincoln wheat cent — 20 to 40 cents
*1959-D Lincoln Memorial cent — 20 to 30 cents
*1960-D Large Date Lincoln Memorial cent — 20 to 30 cents
*1962-D Lincoln Memorial cent — 15 to 30 cents
*1964-D Lincoln Memorial cent — 15 to 30 cents
*1982-D Lincoln Memorial cent — 20 to 30 cents
*1994 Queen Elizabeth II Canadian cent — 10 to 20 cents
*1957-D Lincoln cent — weakly struck? Might be worth 50 cents or more to an error collector if this checks out as a weak or filled die and not simply porous due to environmental damage.
Keep on making these good finds!
Josh
Found this today The 1958 looks to have some doubling any value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5bb1daa795e82bcdcc136d1ddb81ae087d012ec34111d5b645684f72c151e890.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/849bd49ef0df56c228336ea37ff310efc06aacbb6882735d1d43affcead48990.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d0ede60bf28d6982275aecda620a4cfee4da3eb91446570da31498bf2748f435.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fba0f9dea88c9db7551c7065242973bb640efacc8bb810ce3c8d1394ea5ac0eb.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fc45c708d0858ae1367d8db8869790a03148fc8a2a4ad14895253e5d57a89b29.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ed4b6cbe69773839ed7eeb7014beee6d9ece0b171fdf973b14772b45b3383a3a.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ceabb85c699922377f14c57f36c53473caeda3bac465aa148943c8b40e9b2186.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0635fbf52c15649ce8f0fcdb5163de8b132c98061061e9b5083a7815f1d93263.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/5cdb3fdab4b7b694c0cb38f692fa3ac5e42ff64ff2fe8dc4bfe988a517097fbd.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
The 1958 cent seems to have some signs of very light machine doubling, which is not a valuable error. All of the pre-1959 Lincoln cents you posted are worth between 5 and 20 cents each, while the 1959-1969 pieces shown here are worth 2 cents each for their intrinsic copper value.
Thank you for your question and photos,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
The 1970-S cent pictured above is a large date and worth 2 cents in worn condition for its copper value. The 1937, 1958, and 1958-D Lincoln cents are worth 5 to 10 cents each. The 1992 cent has carbon spots and is worth face value, while the 1992-D has obverse damage and is also worth face value.
Best,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
The one in #5 looks convincing but it would need to be seen in person by an attributor to be verified. It looks like the bottoms of the A and M may be touching but it’s hard to say for sure, as the photo is a little blurry at that resolution.
Hang on to it and see if you can send it in for closer inspection. Here’s more info on where you might do that…

Hello, Francisco —
Very cool… it looks like you’ve got some machine doubled coins here, such as the 1969-S and 1972-S cents. I can totally see why you saved those, because the 1969-S cent is known to have a doubled die variety and in 1972 there was also another doubled die, though on the Philadelphia cent and not the San Francisco cent. The doubling on the 1969-S does not carry apparent diagnostics that would match the 1969-S doubled die penny. The 1972-S cent also bears indications of machine doubling.
The 1992-D cent appears to have been struck by a worn die.
I’d personally hang on to all of these coins, though they really aren’t worth more than about 2 cents each.
Keep on making these neat finds!
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
I think I see very minor doubling in the 1957 but I’m afraid I don’t see it in the photos of the 1950 pieces. The doubling I see in the 1957 looks like die deterioration, but all of these pieces are still worth 5 to 10 cents each to most individuals who would collect them.
Best,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
The areas on the coin that you highlighted appear to have been affected by post-Mint wear. This 1946-S Jefferson nickel is worth about 10 to 15 cents.
Best,

This 1960 d I also think its a double die https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/921897978b0ebc8dfbbbe57d0e16f4515f31a356983fb5caf06009baf0450cc7.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/921897978b0ebc8dfbbbe57d0e16f4515f31a356983fb5caf06009baf0450cc7.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d116ffb2d62a494ff5fdb95e9ec33c5b2d51f04b4662d27f0a09525dab2b61ef.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f83cfc9a00c00bd18d28984d551e922890e798c517599167ad0d8728c9247f45.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
The details are a little mushy; I think it’s a late-stage die and is worth around 20 to 25 cents.
Best,
Josh

Very nice, Francisco –
Based on what I see in the photos, this does look like a 1998 Wide AM. Assuming it checks out in an in-hand evaluation, yours would be worth somewhere between $5 and $10 in circulated condition.
Great job!

Hi, Francisco —
I do see hints of machine doubling on this piece. Such a piece may be worth about $1 to a collector who enjoys collecting such pieces.
Best wishes,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
This 1952-D Lincoln cent has been cleaned and has substantial post-Mint damage. Sadly because of this I’d put its value around 3 cents, just a little above copper melt value.
Thank you for your question and photos,
Josh
This are a little more from yesterday hope you can see them rite https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/50b6a560624b0749d67c1296d5777e911682c714d36b7a85234cad43ed6ccaf8.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/77e8c3e5982246cf5b427dae00ab49774a10b409eaea070501c80e87dbcef754.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6b272241363a46447bb701f2197b08d6cc61c65303b0f3ed9b06aa33a2770f67.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0729b2964cf4588cfa104ac69a4560cd118298d6d6ab2706c9ab6f071190c639.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ecdc1121d2ccac47c80e144c409b93236cabd836dc57f1fc06be5a92803d9a7c.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/bdd550ed72e517e72af406bf64920622f6bd8a6634a76ba517840424ac031860.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/30b9418d7ae9039930008969f37737c0394b59c21d2c307cbaf514b93cc2b4d7.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
It looks like the 1970-S cent is a large date and is worth 2 cents. The 1992-D cent was struck by a late-stage die and is generally worth face value.
Thank you for your question and photos!
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
Of these coins, the only one that seems to have any value is the 1958-D Lincoln cent. The others show signs of corrosion and environmental damage and are worth face value.
Thank you for your question and photos!
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
The coins listed here, except for the 1990 cent and one 1992-D cent, all exhibit varying signs of post-mint damage and are worth face value. The 1990 Philadelphia cent (no mintmark) appears uncirculated and is worth about 10 cents. The 1992-D cent with the shifted design (indicated by the zinc core showing through around the edges of the design) appears to be a late die-state and is worth a few cents to those who collect such die anomalies.
Neat coins,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
Without knowing the size, weight, or metallic composition of the coin, I’m unfortunately lost as to what this piece is.
Wow!
Josh

Hi, Francisco –
What seems to be the issue with this piece? Nothing seems to be sticking out to me with this one, which appears to be a normal, circulated 1992-D date.
Best wishes,
Josh
It looks like its double die https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/c7198ad06e2102d6198f4d54271c5d5fe631e44bb661a6540343be64c27724ef.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b50ed29f7bd05acb1a2ccd03de04ef9c4092c9167b715602615edaa327faa1c3.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/94c31973ec5a9053ec6df63f9c97e9faa13232f16224146949d72e4f9eec9f51.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fafada5b0c2e7bb2cff469e6f16413df8c70285f77793bbeab7f7084d72bd7bc.jpg 50de459b2600daf1e5413dbbd1d3b0db3da9d3618915b7f2b65bdf07e7bb77a0.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/0b34251902c703507ddd153bca1aefc648d68f0a5fc4ad96f3802db3ea802676.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
What areas of the coin do you see doubling? I don’t seem to pick it up here on my end, but perhaps am just missing the right spot on the photo.
Thanks,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
This appears to be a die clash error. In most cases, such pieces are worth $1 to $2.

Hi josh found some real nice ones.sending pics do they have any value.I think its a 1964 double die https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a13f156348506f192e5d160185af5d8ab642b8c99a75fadbe8dd2d7c28649834.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/51286ef24ef272ab342c0d307cdb1e0cf9aebab99b2a3bda3e3275988772e1b3.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b9bde826196de2badbfda025852adeb1eaa07c7b63ff11c6cefae35f7b0e7223.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a81e237662e0f8c2ffd70194de25562d7c6ae370e0c370970af0d09cb0b270cc.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
I’m not sure if this is a doubled die, as I don’t seem to see any doubling in the images. Where on the coin do you see the doubling? What is doubled?
Thank you for any further help you can provide,
Josh

Hello, Francisco —
A 1935 Buffalo nickel in about Fine condition, as yours seems to be, is worth about $1 to $1.25. Is that a blank one-cent planchet? What is the size (in millimeters) and weight of that blank piece, please? Once I know this I’ll be able to further assist on the value.
Thank you,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
This piece has some post-mint damage and is worth face value.
Thanks for posting!

Hi, Francisco —
This is not a proof, but rather a fairly well-preserved 1984. It appears to be uncirculated and, if so, is worth about 10 cents in this condition.

Hi, Francisco —
What do you see on the reverse of the 1959 dime? I seem to see usual wear abrasions but it’s possible on I’m missing something in the photos that you see on the coin in-person.
Otherwise, this is a nicely circulated silver dime worth about $1.60.
Best wishes,
Josh
I think he means the D on the back of the dime.
Hi Francisco —
Can you describe what you’re seeing? You don’t mean the “D” (Denver) mintmark, do you? Or the streaking (patination/discoloration)? Or something else?
Thank you,
Josh
Found this any value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/fb2de473e28dc2997da8c868e2e1869f2f0b168dc3b386322868fdafeb8d6436.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/124d647fd04fdd3fb99167b29bdd0085f39b306a0c3e7c76ba9c9bc2484f1d0e.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f8f6cb4bb6a54577ff66a381d8fe21020467c9cc52829cfaa68f24bd306f4f3b.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f315c78001bc1f3a72f9063e9be556b4ef058d3c94382b31a7bf5cc234cfd944.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7ee4a01ee1337f76884292615ea0c6ada6803b49c6ad34fb8c7811054346863e.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
This is a base-metal piece that has more value as a world coin novelty in the states. I’d say the dealer retail value of this piece is roughly 10 cents. You might be able to sell it for 5 to 8 cents.
Best,
Josh
This 1958 d penny I think has doubting any value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/202031e2b72d1fb837a05526ad0beebd96e23789882e53a227f75f434e67fbd5.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e114b9c7f8f9c7ef99e9a01dcec7d2aa5a54c325e189998487f681138302713a.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/eb6dfdb27d6bce63a8c799f835e42e5e3c1e5fb92067c132037a5e74a690318b.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
I do see machine doubling on this coin in IN GOD WE TURST. I’d put its value at around 50 cents or $1 to hobbyists who collect such coins.
Best wishes,
Josh

Hi, Francisco —
You have a 1940 20 Centavos coin from Mexico that contains silver and is currently worth about $2 to $3.
Nice find!
Josh
Thank you josh for all your help
You’re welcome, Francisco!

Hi, Francisco —
Based on what I can tell in the photos, it looks like it might be a 1946-D. It’s heavily corroded, but it’s still worth 2 cents for its copper value.
Interesting find!
Josh
This 1971 the rims double any value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1b4e8dd3e77ea4cb9944f374171b76cea6df5295051751ddd5ed59d9ca51c3c9.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/6dc9e196174481cb32910dbcdbb934c480a523e61a468e5ac926d3834b007a9f.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/d5ca6fd2c4883d9fabe5a8a42f6a34dde65beb575ff2b02a5065208a820fa4fe.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f5c9cd2240e6974a3ba33c4c9c949efb9ca78b89f7ffa7a4daf194c4b13d338b.jpg
Hello, Francisco —
This is a nice off-center piece. I think it’s probably 5% off, which isn’t quite enough to trigger any huge increase in value, but I do think it could be worth up to perhaps $1 or so to a collector who enjoys off-center Lincoln cents.
Neat find!
Josh
Any idea if this is worth anything https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a116f18fb4e4a3b4d4dd2ad3f2fd6fb94390a086fea346b3fc38a55d65f1b6f8.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/254bd2ffdd9c33d0f7050c2aa78fa865117012836fb8fc30c5e3aa998945a7dc.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/1db4bb5ab7fb6560e14ae02c8b40b6747aa7395ee9b90542ff5ebb721c48dcf6.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/305fa6c80dfe21f8e47e1855ba21815b056b4374c1fe6c1609c8d119a4abc572.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/f56026b2fb15436ea3384e56cedd230eb51920d60ce1c1b048a4b00dc5099b94.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/e7dd0742d23b721270bd77e062907fb44add4b83e29421b3604163f030428a1a.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/90695da6e36cfefc638a6577f6cbfbe0aa95f8b605cbe41d709ca2c8a377947a.jpg
Interesting, Francisco. I can’t tell… It looks like post-Mint damage to me, but I might be wrong. There are some errors that also have a similar look. If I were you, I’d send these photos to John Wexler or the folks at CONECA for a second opinion.

Hi, Francisco —
From what I see in this photo, this is machine doubling around the date and mintmark; machine doubling appears flat and is not an error variety. It’s still a neat-looking piece and is worth holding aside. It’s worth its copper value, or 2 cents.
Best wishes,
Josh
Hey there josh found this coin its a 1959 d look to be ddo any value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/a6905c39f2c0b32cf41b4afd4d8e1a2e1ffee99deb4c01f22febf39bf34a464d.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/50dbd82568370c6ad90928da6355fa1bc7764b7b5ca41f493a4af35b885524f8.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9969415e3fc9b10606e1ea9df824c2de66fd8d21c3786d406e5d8d6e68242ba4.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/9969415e3fc9b10606e1ea9df824c2de66fd8d21c3786d406e5d8d6e68242ba4.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
I don’t think this is a doubled die based on what I see in the images; I think this is very likely a case of light machine doubling. If that’s true, this piece may be worth about 50 cents to $1 to an individual who is interested in collecting such anomalies.
Best wishes,
Josh
This 1928 looks to be or have doubling on it any value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ffaec4e5f3df7c64396652578f5fc20e6d7ed92808c6c683521ab49ac66170cc.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/ffaec4e5f3df7c64396652578f5fc20e6d7ed92808c6c683521ab49ac66170cc.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/47fb049cee8911d07f909654eac5b3f77272712e86212c37bcb0c154699dacca.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/78cecd50639ae6a65316dc10d8ee1c7ca60ec35b99cddd69552d6e984af68cbf.jpg
Hi, Francisco —
There may be some light doubling in GOD, but this appears to be machine doubling. I’d put the value of this piece at maybe 50 cents to $1 to someone who is interested in such pieces.
Best wishes,

This 1958 look like its a ddo any value https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/aabeda49d0a7891df463fd5510b4329bed023aa00020366518c70b68ded8322c.jpg
I think this might be machine doubling but actually I can’t tell for sure with the grain in the photo. This one might be worth swinging by error/variety expert John Wexler for a second opinion. Here is his info: https://www.doubleddie.com/

Hello, Francisco —
I can’t tell if this is epoxy resin or die damage. If the messed-up area is removed with acetone (try this very carefully, please), then it’s just post-Mint residue. If it does not come off with acetone, I suggest submitting the photos to the folks at CONECA to see if they can confirm that it’s some type of die damage. Here is CONECA’s website link: https://varietyvista.com/index.htm
Good luck,
Josh
