Are wheat pennies worth more than regular ones?
In most some cases, no. They are worth their face value of one cent unless they were minted from a rare lot. 1943 wheat pennies are somewhat rare because they are made of steel as an emergency wartime measure, to save the copper for radio wires. Some other wheat pennies have value if they are in good condition. An honest coin collector can tell you, but even if yours are not valuable you can still hold onto them for luck. There are some people who want to stop making pennies altogether, in which case their value will probably increase someday.CorrectionsIt's not that simple. Some wheat cents from the 1920s and earlier can be worth considerable amounts of money depending on their date, mint mark, and condition while others can be quite inexpensive. For example, retail prices for a worn 1924 cent without a mint mark might be 10 to 15 cents, the same date with a D (Denver) mint mark could sell for $20! Also, copper was removed from cents in 1943 because it was needed for bullets and shell casings, not radio wires.And finally, wheat cents were "regular" cents for fifty years because that was the only design minted from mid-1909 till the end of 1958.

What does the D and the E mean on a penny?
A "D" under the date means a Lincoln cent was struck in Denver. No letter means it was struck in Philadelphia(*). Older cents (1909-55 and 1968-73 may have an S, indicating they were made in San Francisco. The US never used "E" as a mint mark. Please check again with a small magnifying glass. (*) Even though all other coins made in Philadelphia since 1980 carry a "P" mint mark, the Mint decided that cents from Philly would continue to be struck without mint marks. The reason at the time was that demand for cents was so high (>14 billion a year) that the 2 major mints sometimes couldn't keep up with demand. The smaller mints in San Francisco and/or West Point would occasionally be called on to strike extra cents. However these "helper" runs produced comparatively fewer coins and the Mint didn't want to create instant rarities.

Are pennies with an S or D worth more?
The "S" and the "D" are called mint marks which identify which US Mint produced the coin. Coins with no mint mark prior to 1980 were minted at Philadelphia. Just having an "S" or a "D" mint mark does not mean the coin is worth more. The value of a coin is generally determined by the demand collectors and investors have for the coin. The more people who want to own it, the more it is worth.
