Pennies aren’t the most useful coin out there; a single cent doesn’t buy you much these days!
But an old-fashioned copper penny might be a worth a whole lot more than you realize.
The same way that certain 1970 quarters are worth a lot of money, specific one-cent coins can be worth a pretty penny.
Copper pennies from 1943 are some of the most valuable coins on the market.
To the untrained eye, they look like any other penny. However, they have a mistake on them formed during the printing process that make them very rare. Stumbling on one of these coins is a truly unique and exciting occasion.
