Errors that can be found on a wheat penny are doubled-die obverse, S over D, D over S and for 1922 pennies no D or a weak D. In 1922 pennies were only minted in Denver all other years they were minted in Philly(no mint mark) and Denver (D) along with San Fran(S) in select years.
Wheat pennies from the 1940's and 50's are 5-10 cents.
Yes, I have a 1954 Lincoln Wheat penny in my hand and it's minted with a D.
A rare date for wheat pennies would be 1909 S VDB.
Look out for any 1909 pennies which are EXTREMELY valuable, there a bout a thousand dollars. others to look for (not as valuable as 1909) are 1912 S 1913 S 1914 D 1914 S 1915 S 1922 NO D 1924 D 1931 S and also look for any error coins
All wheat pennies, regardless of year are worth at least 3 cents if the date is readable. Some wheat pennies though, are worth quite a bit more. For instance, the 1909 S VDB penny is worth several hundred dollars even in worn condition and so is the 1914 D penny. However, a 1909 S VDB penny in pristine condition could be worth thousands of dollars. In general, the older the wheat penny the more valuable it is. For example, most wheat pennies dated in the 1940s-1950s aren't that valuable, but wheat pennies dated in the teens and twenties are worth a lot more.
Well, if it just says 1909 without a S, D, or VDB on it, then its probably around 5-20 cents. The reason for that is because there was 72.7 million pennies that was minted in 1909 (without S, D, or VDB mark) and pennies that are worth alot have around 0 to 2 million pennies minted in that year.
Not all that much. Most of them in circulated condition are worth about 3 cents from the 1940s-1958 (last year for wheat pennies was 1958). Though error coins and high grade examples will be worth more.
Usually S mintmark wheat pennies are worth more.
No. In 1959 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln, the reverse side of the Wheat Cent was redesigned and featured an image of the Lincoln Memorial. These cents came to be known to collectors as "Lincoln Memoriasl Cents"
For example, a 1943 & a 1943-D coin in MS60 condition are worth: $5.00. A 1943-S coin in the same condition is worth: $15.00.
