July 4, 2009 There were over 900 million 1942 Lincoln cents struck so it is a fairly common coin. It can be bought for about 5 cents in average circulated condition and for about $2-$3 in better circulated condition. Uncirculated examples of this coin can be bought for $4-$20. These prices are fairly constant regardless of mintmark even though "S" mintmarked coins are more scarce.
