Expensive Pennies

17

These pennies are worth more than face value already and have a potential to increase in value over time as they become more rare. All Wheat Pennies. They are all worth at least three times face value unless they are heavily damaged or just plain worn totally out. Pennies Dated Before 1982. In mid-1982, the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc. For the world's rarest and most coveted pennies in the world, values are well over $100,000 and approaching $2 million. Rarity is a significant factor in determining a penny's value. Condition is another; coins that stayed out of circulation may retain their original coloring and fine details, greatly adding to their value.
