The image you’ve shared seems to suggest that a specific type of U.S. penny could be worth up to $13 million, especially if it has a certain mark or minting error (highlighted with a red circle and arrow). These kinds of posts are common in coin-collecting communities and often refer to extremely rare error coins or misprints that are highly valuable to collectors.
Here’s a reality check:
-
Most pennies are not worth millions, even if old.
-
A $13 million penny would be an extreme rarity, likely involving a major mint error, a coin struck on the wrong planchet, or one of the early 1943 copper pennies (as most were zinc-coated steel that year due to WWII).
-
The mark in the image appears to point to an area where a die error or mint mark issue might exist.
If you’re curious:
-
Look at your pennies, especially the reverse (tails) side and check for double dies, off-center strikes, or rare mint marks (like a small “S” or “D”).
-
Coins from certain years like 1943, 1955 (double die), or 1969-S can be worth thousands or more.
-
Always verify with a professional appraiser or coin grading service (e.g., PCGS or NGC) before assuming high value.
