  • 1943 LINCOLN HEAD COPPER PENNY. It’s a little counterintuitive to think of a copper penny.
  • This coin is exceedingly rare. The Secret Service confiscated the early specimens until the U.S. Mint admitted they were genuine. Counterfeits abound but usually have the wrong mint mark. In May 2014, a mother in Texas found one while going through rolls of coins.

This rare penny is pulling in values of up to $500 in mint state condition, and with almost 4.5 billion pennies produced at the Denver Mint in 1992, there's a good chance that these are still in circulation. Don't Let Bad Vision Deter You It's fairly hard to distinguish between the close AM and wide AM designs with the naked eye.

Keep in mind that pennies with the Lincoln Memorial reverse are generally not worth much unless they are of good quality - extremely fine or higher grade.

In the list below, I have marked the coins that are worth more than a few cents (in higher grades) with a red asterick (*).
