Everybody has found an old coin in their change or inherited something they just do not know about. From wheat pennies right on up to $20 gold pieces, old coins are worth money. Sometimes they can be worth a fortune.

Quick Facts:
-Do NOT clean coins! This hurts the value tremendously and cleaning/conservation must be done by a professional.
-Wheat pennies generally trade anywhere from two cents to twenty dollars for the most common dates.
-Wheat pennies in Uncirculated or “Brand New” looking condition from the 1940’s and ‘50s are not rare by any stretch.
The Wheat cent is one of the most famous coins to ever be made in the United States. The coin was designed by Victor David Brenner in honor of Lincoln’s 100th birthday in 1909. The coin had a long run from 1909 through 1958. The obverse or front of the coin has remained relatively the same since its inception, and the designs on the reverse or back of the coin have changed only seven times in the last 104 years. Five of those eight changes happened during the last four years, but more on that later. The Wheat cent is the longest running coin in American history to have the same Presidential figure on the obverse.
What are those Wheat cents worth? Almost everybody has found one in their change and thrown it to the side. Some people have only one or two, but I have a client who is trying to amass 1,000,000 coins! The Wheat cent has a number of rare “key” dates and varieties that can be worth anywhere from $50 to over $1,000!
In the year 1909, there were 4 different varieties of the Wheat cent made. The coin was minted in Philadelphia and San Francisco. The coins were made both with and without the initials of the designer, Victor Brenner, on the reverse of the coin near the bottom. The initials V.D.B. stood out on the bottom, and they were quickly removed from the design after only a short time because the designers of U.S. coins did not generally make their initials stand out like that. Philadelphia and San Francisco both struck coins with the initials and without the initials. The way to tell the difference between a V.D.B. and a non-V.D.B. is to simply look at the reverse for the initials. The way to tell where the coin was made is to look under the date and see if there is a letter. If it was from Philadelphia, there will be no letter, however, if it is from San Francisco, it will have the letter “S” under the date.
Philadelphia coins with the V.D.B. initials are very common and trade generally for less than ten dollars per coin. The Philadelphia coins without the V.D.B. are even more common, and these trade at less than five dollars per coin. San Francisco coins are the ones worth more money. A San Fran V.D.B. can command anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over one thousand! A coin from San Francisco without the V.D.B. is still worth $50 to $150 depending upon the condition. If you have ever discovered one of these two coins from San Francisco or plan to buy one, I highly recommend getting it authenticated by a professional rare coin dealer. Counterfeit coins are much more likely to exist when a coin has a high value like one of these.
The other dates to look for in the Wheat cent series are the following: 1914-D, 1931-S, 1955 doubled-die variety, and the 1922 No Mintmark Variety. The 1914-D and 1931-S coins are worth $50 to $200 in most cases depending upon the condition. The 1914-D coin was minted in Denver. The 1922 coin was minted in Denver as well, but there is an error where the D was left off the coin and these are rare items. The 1955 doubled-die is one of the most famous Wheat cents out there. This coin shows two dates instead of just one! The 1955 doubled die is worth anywhere from $500 to $2,000 in most cases. As with the above mentioned rare dates, all of these should be professionally authenticated.
Next month, I am going to delve into the fascinating story of World War II coinage. This includes nickels made out of silver, the steel cent, the 1943 copper that everybody hopes to find (yes, this is real, I have held them before), and shell case cents. If you have question on coins, paper money, medals, or tokens, please send me an email or call me because future additions of this column will be question and answer sessions if there is enough demand.

I have a ton of wheat pennies, and I also have lots of the steel(?) ones. I wsa told a magnet will pick up the ones that are steel.
How do I find the value, and how do you stop the horrible green on some of these?

Wayne says
The green is PVC residue that leaches onto the coins as a result of being stored in the older, little cardboard 2×2 holders. An acetone soak can remove the green residue if done properly. Fill a plastic bowl half way with acetone. Be sure to wear rubber gloves. Place the coin(s), one at a time throughout the process, into the acetone and very gently rub the coin surface with a cotton swab. Do not press hard or go over the surface numerous times. Stop once the green is removed. Remove the coin from the acetone and while holding it by the rims with the gloved hand, pour distilled water carefully over the coin and then place on a lint-free towel and flip after the bottom side is dry. Let it air dry afterward.
Technically this is cleaning a coin, but it is an approved method by ANACS (a grading service).
Joan says
The 1943 pennies are worth something … not sure how much, but you should check with a coin company, like Littleton to see what they’re selling them for. Figure that they’re worth about half that. You can’t stop the green and you SHOULD NOT try to clean them. Cleaned coins lose their value. Leave them just as they are.
Liam says
They are worth about 45 cents in average condition.

Wesley says
Value of coins are like any other item that is deemed collectible. Ever herd the phrase. “if its rare it pays”? Many items are flooding the market called “collectible’s”. Caution is always on the side of a smart buyer/seller of collectible’s. reproductions/counterfeit are flooding the market. If you don’t believe me sit up late one night and watch T.V. The best way to value a coin or any other collectible is to do research. The internet is your best tool.Way back in the day before internet existence we had to buy books and hope for the best, right? Not anymore. There is this thing called “google”. Know your coin or collectible. Buy a magnify glass, gloves and do the research to find your coin. When you have a coin that you believe is valuable after your research,take it to someone locally who can verify your findings. I have bought,sold all types of coins,collectibles, antiques..you name it. How i find the “value” of a coin or items i have is RESEARCH,RESEARCH,RESEARCH!
finding the value of a coin would be hard right? Nope.. To find a true value, you must know the coin is correctly marked and a grade in your research first. The value is easy. In your “google search you will be able to find auction values of similar items you have such as coins and collectibles. “Ebay” is usually the first for me. Truthfully all our collectibles are worth what someone will be willing to pay. Not what a seller list an item for..so do not look at listings that have no bids or “buy now” attached to items. You must look at the true bid patterns to figure out a value. If an item has a bid on it..well then, you’ve figured it out my friend. Only items sold,or have bids can give you a value of what the public will pay.( hence the true value) unfortunately in this day and time all collectibles have lost value unless it is extremely rare or a one of a kind. Books can give you some sort of idea but rarely can give you a true value. If you have items that have gold or silver in them don’t be fooled by a buyer( wholesaler).If the market is hot on gold and silver your beat up,smashed coin may still be worth good money. Yes you can “google” how much silver or gold is in your particular coin. You can also use the internet to find what gold and silver values are for today. Most coins can be worth 15-20 times face value if silver(1964 or earlier). Always keep in mind dealers will offer you much less for your collectibles. Do the research yourself, find the value and attempt to move any item you have for sale first before going to a dealer. If your patient and know how to list an item ( willing to learn) for auction or for sale,you can cut the middle man out and collect more profit on your own for a very small auction fee or free listings sites. Try to sell local on free sites such as craigslist,facebook groups, local listings, ebay, many other online free sites or classified. Remember the key word is “research”. Most dealers will offer you 30-50% less than what an item is presently worth. Why? To protect their investment. They have to make a profit and hold items for a long period of time depending on the buyers market. Dealer’s also have to be concerned when the market goes down or goes up on items. Most of the time they come out smelling like roses$$ and can thrive off an economy that is hurting due to living cost and the job market. The majority of America is in money trouble,yet there are plenty that is loaded with money and willing to buy your collectibles,antiques, coins at a premium price! Question is are you willing to take time out and do research and put that profit in your wallet or give it to someone else?

john mullins says
1909 was the only year the VDB was on the wheat penny and it was on the reverse side directly beneath the wheat stalks
Munzen says
1909 was the only year that VDB was on the _reverse_ side. It was restored to the obverse in 1918, in minuscule letters under Lincoln’s shoulder. A good magnifying glass should show it.
Mary Mckenzie says
I replied earlier that I have a 1928 no letter might be a 1922.

Venus says
When I was a kid, I had a D battery explode on the cement from being run over by a truck, just so happened a penny was nearby, I think the acid ate the copper coating off, and I was left with a silver looking penny. It’s a possibility you have one as a result of an experiment. 🙂

What is the value of uncirculated Kennedy half dollars?
Joe says
50 cents
Munzen says
The date matters, though. 1971 and later are worth face value because they’re cupronickel clad. 1965-69 are 40% silver and of course the ’64s are 90%.

Munzen says
There’s no 1965-D cent to be missing. Mint marks were suspended during the coin shortage of 1965 to 1967. The Mint was (erroneously) convinced that collectors would save so many coins that it would affect their ability to restore the coin supply.

Hi Harry,
Please reference Heritage’s FREE coin price guide for quick answers on what your items could be worth: http://coins.ha.com/ref/beginners-price-guide.zx
Munzen says
Your coin is an Indian Head cent, not a “wheat head”. Indian Head cents were minted from 1859 to 1909 so 1900 is definitely not a strange date. Wheat cents were minted from 1909 to 1958. They have the same image of Lincoln that’s on modern cents but the back has two wheat ears framing the words ONE CENT.
Jeff Wolf says
Have several pennies from 1920 – 1957. Some have S’s and some have D’s and some without any markings. Should I get these checked out. Have a 1935D and later yrs with S’s and D’s.

I love knowing about coins and bills. My son loves to collect too. He was recently given a $5.00 bill that looked odd. Ill have to ask him year but think he said it was 1963.
Cindy Farmer says
I have old silver dollars from the 1800s and wheat pennies and buffalo buckles but what I am most curious about is a $10 bill that says”Marine National Exchange Bank of Milwaukee” on it and “series of 1929” Why were these made and is it still worth $10?

Paul DeGrey says
So how come no mention of the 1943 steel pennies due to the copper shortage during WW2? Somewhat rare and quite different.
Munzen says
Very different, but only slightly rare. They continued to circulate into the late 1950s. A lot of people saved them so you can still buy one in average condition for 50 cents or so.
Dee Dee Smith says

Tammie Hammett says
I have several WWII coins and som made from shells and also the silver pennies, I think. Are they worth anything?
Kelly Kopa says
Hi Tammie,
Please reference Heritage’s FREE coin price guide for quick answers on what your items could be worth: http://coins.ha.com/ref/beginners-price-guide.zx
Munzen says
They’re silver in color but actually are made of zinc-plated steel. Copper was needed to make ammunition, so the Mint used low-grade scrap steel to mint pennies that year.
Jennifer Adams says
Where would a person sell their coins (wheat pennies)? I have a 5 gallon bucket, full of these things and would like to sell them for what they’re worth.

John M. says
I have 4 .50 Franklins, all FBL’s.
-1962, MS66
-1963, MS66 (x2)
-1948, MS67
The top 3 are graded from Gallery Coin Company and the last is from Numistrust Corp.
I also have a 1955-S Penny, MS68 Red, also from Gallery Coin Company.
And, one coin Morgon Silver Dollar, MS64/65 which is an error coin that has the “S” on wings side towards bottom… Not graded with any of the above…
With the exception of the last coin, all of the other coins really look great! I did a search on prices several years ago and some of these were between $15-$20k or more. Is this possible even though it’s not graded via PCGS or similar? How can I determine if the MS66 or MS67 is that high?

Rebie Caldwell says
I have some 5.00 & others that says Silver ertificate at the top.Also some bills with red serial numbers.Are they worth anything?
Ward Correll says
I have an 1858 penny with a flying eagle on the front and what looks like a wreath on the back..any value?
Munzen says
The Flying Eagle design was used on the first small cents, minted from 1856 to 1858. 1858 is the most common year but they’re moderately valuable. It’s definitely worth getting an estimate.
jane j willis says
Ihave wheet penny,s from 1912 to1939 from1950to1953 to1961
katie says
I have a dollar bill from 1935 is it worth anything?
Rick Schultz says
I have 2 steel pennies. These unusual coins are dated; 1982 D, and 1986 D, both have the Lincoln Memorial on the back. The only steel pennies I know of before these were Wheat backs and dated in the early 40’s. Can you tell me any information about my coins? Could they be aluminum they are not attracted to magnets.
Munzen says
Cents have been made of copper-plated zinc since mid-1982. Your coins have had the copper plating removed, showing the underlying zinc.
Rob Donnelly says
I just found a 1919 S wheat penny in my change from the gas station last week. I don’t see VDM on the back. It is wore down a bit, but it still has some detail. Anyone know what it might be worth?
Lisa says
What is an 1898 wheat penny worth ?
george says
starting 1 dollar to 28 dollars.. i recommend you tak it to a coin collector and let him price it. or research ebay and go with the prices you see
Munzen says
??? Wheat cents were minted from 1909 to 1958. An 1898 coin would be an Indian Head cent.
Marcia Wamack says
Going though the wheat cent found 4-1955D mint and a1955 mint they look to be in really good condition what are they worth?

David says
The green star suffix denotes a replacement note. When an error is found, it is replaced with one of these notes to keep the right count in the stack without having to reprint that exact serial number.
Munzen says
It means the bill is a replacement one that was damaged during the printing process. Depending on the year and denomination, star notes can be worth somewhat more than ordinary bills.
angela ragusa says
I have a 1834 silver dollar liberty how much is that worth?
Munzen says
If the date is 1834 it can’t be a silver dollar. None were minted from 1804 to 1835 inclusive. The famed “1804” dollars were actually struck much later.
RANDY TEEL says

myka says
I have 2 silver wheat back pennies from 1943 are they worth anything?
Munzen says
25-50 cents in average condition. They’re steel, not silver. If they were silver they’d be worth more than dimes.

I just found a 1895 quarter. Date is clear as is some other writings but is pretty rubbed down. Is this coin just worth the history behind it or a value. I am a cashier in a cafe and a lot of old money seems to be coming thru. I have kept it for the history behind it and wonder where and who has handled this coin.

I have a roll of 30 that I have never opened….and don’t intend to. I’ve never thought to take them to a professional. I looked at the one reverse side of the end penny in the roll & it is a 1922.
Jim Harrier says
I was stationed in Denver during 1966-1967. I went to the Denver mint and watched them stamp out the pennies. Try to find one now. 1966,67,68 had no D mint marks on them in order to stop collector’s from hoarding them. it didn’t work very well.

Tammy Shelton says
I have 5 wheat pennies ranging from 1941 to 1958. I want to sell these pennies to the highest paying wheat penny collector. The highest pay out I’ve seen online is $5 dollars. My pennies are in mint condition an I won’t sell them for $5 dollars to anyone. So if your interested please contact me via email( pussycat2008@yahoo.com).
Amy says
Umm no they are worth less than $5
Ethan Atsinger says
First of all I am not authorized to sell these. I have a associate that has collected pennies for many years, and pennies are his passion. He is trying to liquidate his collection at a fair market value. I am trying to help him find interested parties who would be motivated in acquiring some or all of this collection.
They’re are a little under 3,000 Indian Heads, over 800,000 Wheats, and over 600,000 coppers from 59 on up….these numbers are not exact but are close.
He asked for my help and advice. I was going to call some dealers from magazines and such and thought why not post this information to the collectors themselves? This way I can pass along any advice and maybe put him in touch with the right person.
I really need some advice and guidance. I thought I was a collector, but I found out I am nothing of the sort, not even close. I have never seen rolls and rolls of pennies so well organized.
So, if you would have any advice on what I should tell him, if you know a name of someone that would be interested in such a stash of penny history, please let me know via PM so I can pass along any pertinent information.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Ethan
** I added this because I saw that someone had a client that wanted 1 million wheats……..well here is 800K

People asking how much your coin is worth on a blog post? Come on you have the greatest wealth of information ever made by man in-front of you the internet, so use it to look up any coins you have for values. There are several free sites that do this just look them up stop being lazy. You can have the most valuable coin in the world but if you are lazy and don’t bother looking up the real value you will either get ripped off or just never bother to sell it.
Munzen says
Amy, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. With so many search engines available, it’s a simple matter to enter the basic terms like date and denomination to get an answer from a major site like PCGS, ANA, etc. immediately. Posting on a blog always seems to elicit a bunch of “I have one, too, what’s it worth?” responses – or worse yet, utterly false mythology that takes on a life of its own because, as we know (NOT!) everything you read online is true.

Raven says
i have all that are listed above and I also have five 1943 copper wheat penny’s that have “s” and have been authenticated plus many many more including 3 of each of the very rare 1909s v.d.b and 1909s capital V.D.B
Munzen says
Ostensibly all 1943 copper cents have been accounted for so you need to have your coins evaluated by a high-end professional.
However there is no “lower case” v.d.b. on 1909 Lincoln cents, but regardless the 1909-S VDB is a key coin in the series. Again, you should call in a professional appraiser.
Steve m says

Finny Seniro says
What’s the prize for spotting errors in the blog?
Second paragraph – The obverse or front of the coin has remained relatively the same since its inception, and the designs on the reverse or back of the coin have changed only seven times in the last 104 years. Five of those eight changes happened during the last four years, but more on that later.
The penny has “changed only seven times” … “Five of those eight changes” – either we incremented a change for the next sentence or lost one change in the prior sentence.
Munzen says
Also, with the 2015 Kennedy half now in production its run is 51 years with the same design, one more than either wheat cents or Lincoln Memorial cents.
Jason E Tuttle says
How about a 1856 half dime i want to say its a “O” mark though I havent looked in a while, I have several standing liberty quarters, mercs, liberty V nickels, benjamin halves, morgan silver dollars , most of those are easy enough to value, but I dont see much about the half dime.
Carla Lynch says
I have a 1957 wheat penny in my hand. Been carrying it around for a while.
Munzen says
Over a billion 1957 cents were minted. In circulated condition, at least, 1957 is one of the single most common dates for wheat cents. Prices are usually less than a nickel.

Please check your 1899 coin – it should be an Indian head cent, not a wheat cent. Wheat cents have the familiar image of Lincoln on the front, and were made from 1909 to 1958.

Ronald Hawthorne says
I have plenty of these old coins 3 are silver 1943 pennies what may they be worth, and who would I sell them to?
Munzen says
As others have noted, 1943 cents are steel and not silver. They’re generally worth 25-50 cents in average condition. You can find that information directly on many numismatic sites.
jeneal says
I have just inherited a coin collection. And when I say “just,” I mean I don’t even yet have it in my possession. But I will have in a few days. I plan to take it directly to a safe place, to keep it, at least while I figure out if it’s actually worth anything. That step is all I know about coin collecting. I just came across this site on Facebook today. What a coincidence! I think I might like to start adding to the collection. Can you recommend any reading materials, other than this site, of course, that will help me get started?

maybe your knowledge of the history
Thanks for the post

Nathan says
It is only worth what people will pay for it, if somebody says your penny is worth $459 but nobody will give you that then it isn’t worth it! You must learn that, it is like Kelly Blue Book, many times when you try to buy a used car people will quote the KBB value as if it is the Bible, I respond, “Well then have KBB write you a check”. One more time to be clear, it is only worth what people will pay and when push comes to shove, “collectibles” and “rarities” loose value very quickly…

Munzen says
From October 1942 to December 1945 nickels were made of a mixture of silver, copper and manganese instead of cupronickel alloy. Nickel was needed for the war effort. Your coin should have a large P, D, or S above Monticello.
The silver content is quite small – about a gram – but “war nickels” command a small premium.

Munzen says
They were made from steel, plated with zinc. About a billion were struck in that metal so copper could be diverted to making ammunition. Unfortunately the coins weren’t very satisfactory – the zinc coating quickly turned an ugly gray and as it wore off, the underlying steel would rust.
A lot of people saved them as curiosities and keepsakes, so they’re not very valuable in average condition. No matter, they’re still a reminder of the sacrifices everyone made during the difficult years of WWII.

does anyone out there know about Canadian coins dating as far back as 1850.I got them from my mother when I was a kid.She told me they were called Shin Plasters but one book I looked in states there pennies.There the size of a silver dollar with King George and King Edward on them
Naomi Teeter says
Time for me to look through my old coin collection I think!
jason says
I have a 1983 quarter that looks copper on the outside edge with no nickle coat at all and the heads side has about half copper showing. I seen that a quarter weighs about 5.6 grams but my quarter only weighs 3.7 grams. Does this have any value?
Jodi says
Even if I have some of those coins that are worth a lot, who actually buys them for that much!!
Rhonda says
I have a quarter that has been mis stamped the year is 1981. Do you know anything about this coin. Is it worth anything. The head is up in the right corner and half the date is gone. I would say it’s 3/4 stamped the rest is blank.
ava says
I am 11 and I have a gold coin that date says 1829-1837. I also have two more gold coins, one is little and it’s date is 1991,the little one has a “D” on the side. The other ones date is 1995.
Munzen says
Hi Ava, and welcome to coin collecting! If you look at the front of your 1829-1837 coin it will have a picture of President Andrew Jackson on the front, and the back will have the denomination “$1” beside the Statue of Liberty. That means your coin is one of the modern Presidential dollars. However it’s made of brass so it’s just gold-colored, not real gold. The minting date is in tiny letters on the edge of the coin. It may be hard to see but it will say 2008.
If you ask at a bank you should be able to get more of these coins, along with others that have a picture of the Native American guide Sacajawea. Talking about them might make a good school project, and who knows, you may have so much fun (like I did) that you make coin collecting your hobby!
Jessica says
I have a gold quarter. Would that be valuable?

I have a 2 part question. I came across a 56 D wheat penny in fairly decent condition. At first glance I didn’t think it had the VDB initials however when I zoomed in on it, it is evident that there was something struck in that vicinity but the VDB is not nowhere near legible. Now my question is, are these common if so are they considered a verity or die polishing error?
