Stop Spending 2025 Pennies — This Is Happening EARLY
$425 Lincoln Penny?!
When collectors catch an error this early, serious money can be made.
Right now, the U.S. Mint has already released thousands of 2025 pennies with major mistakes, and almost no one is talking about it yet.
Some of these coins are already selling for $300 to $425+ online, and many more could surface as circulation increases.
If you find one of these, do not spend it.
Let’s go through this step by step so you know exactly what to look for 
Step 1: Which 2025 Pennies Should You Check?
You should be checking EVERY 2025 Lincoln penny, but especially:
2025-D (Denver Mint)
2025 with NO mint mark (Philadelphia Mint)
Important:
- If there is no mint mark, it means the coin was struck in Philadelphia
- Denver coins will have a small “D” below the date on the obverse
Step 2: The Error — Extreme Doubled Die Obverse
The big money error on 2025 pennies is a doubled die obverse.
This is not light doubling or machine doubling.
This doubling is bold, strong, and obvious — visible to the naked eye.
Step 3: Where to Look on the Coin
Focus on the front (obverse) of the penny.
Key Areas to Inspect:
- The word LIBERTY
- The word IN GOD WE TRUST
What You Should See:
- A clear second outline in LIBERTY
- A second “Y” stacked above the original
- Doubling that runs all the way through the letters
- Similar doubling visible in TRUST
If you have to “imagine” the doubling — it’s probably not the right error.
This one is clear as day.
Step 4: Real Prices These Pennies Are Selling For
These are not asking prices — these are completed sales.
Philadelphia Mint (No Mint Mark)
$300+- One recent sale: $365
Denver Mint (D)
- $425
- Denver examples are selling for more than Philadelphia
This is happening while the coins are still new in circulation, which is extremely rare.
Step 5: Why This Matters Right Now
We are still in the very early discovery phase.
That means:
- Fewer collectors know about it
- Competition is lower
- Prices can rise quickly as awareness spreads
Historically, early-discovered doubled die coins often:
- Spike in value
- Become key varieties
- Are heavily collected and graded
Step 6: What You Should Do If You Find One
Do NOT clean the coin
Store it safely
Compare it to known examples
Consider professional grading (PCGS or NGC)
Even one penny could turn into hundreds of dollars.
Final Reminder
Every 2025 penny you come across should be checked carefully.
Look for:
- Strong doubling
- Clear secondary letters
- Obvious visual separation
This is really early, and opportunities like this do not last long.
