A number of Lincoln cents are considered to be rare and valuable. At least 3 of them are error coins (marked with a "*" in the list below).
Some of the most important ones are:
1909-S
1909-S with the designer's initials VDB on the back (very scarce)
1914-D
1922 with a missing mint mark (due to a die error) *
1943 struck on a bronze blank *
1955 double-die
But in case you're thinking of going through piles of pennies looking for one of these, none have been found in circulation in decades.
