THE $300,000,000 LINCOLN PENNY: ULTIMATE GUIDE TO THE WORLD’S MOST VALUABLE COINS

BREAKING: THIS PENNY COULD BE WORTH $300 MILLION – HERE’S WHY

A single Lincoln penny holds the record for being the most valuable coin ever sold at $300 million (yes, million!). While yours likely isn’t that rare, these 5 ultra-valuable pennies could still be hiding in your change jar.

TOP 5 MOST EXPENSIVE LINCOLN PENNIES EVER

1. 1943 Bronze Penny ($1.7 Million Record)

• Why? Only 10-15 exist (accidentally struck in copper during WWII).
• How to Spot:
  • Weighs 3.11g (not 2.7g like steel pennies)
  • Non-magnetic (steel pennies stick to magnets)
  • Reddish-brown color

2. 1909-S VDB ($150,000+)

• Key Features:
  • “S” mint mark (San Francisco)
  • “VDB” engraver initials on reverse

3. 1955 Doubled Die ($100,000+)

• Error: Extreme doubling on “LIBERTY” and date

4. 1969-S Doubled Die ($125,000+)

• Rarity: Only 40-50 known to exist

5. 1992 Close AM ($20,000+)

• Mint Mistake: Letters “AM” in “AMERICA” nearly touch

HOW TO CHECK YOUR PENNIES (3 QUICK TESTS)

1. Weigh It:
   • 3.11g = Possible copper error (1943)
   • 2.5g = Normal zinc penny
2. Magnet Test:
   • Copper/bronze pennies won’t stick
3. Magnify It:
   • Use a 10x loupe to spot doubling or mint marks

WHAT TO DO IF YOU FIND A RARE PENNY

1. DON’T CLEAN IT (reduces value by 90%!)
2. Get It Graded (PCGS/NGC certification)
3. Sell Through:
   • Heritage Auctions (for $10K+ coins)
   • eBay (for 500–500–10K coins)
