I have a 1944 wheat penny. Is it worth anything?
This is one of the most common dates for older wheat cents because all together about 2 billion (2,000,000,000) were minted. So far I've found 18 cents dated 1944 mostly in good to extremely fine condition. Very Fine is not worn on the back and slightly worn on the front. Extremely Fine barely any wear and sharp details. I've never found a 1944D or 1944S.Here's the stat for 1944 cents...
Year: 1944
Mintage: 1,435,400,000
Metal: 95% copper 5% zinc
Value: VF-20 $0.10 or EF-40 $0.20
Year: 1944D
Mintage: 430,578,000
Metal: 95% copper 5% zinc
Value: VF-20 $0.10 or EF-40 $0.20
Year: 1944S
Mintage: 282,760,000
Metal: 95% copper 5% zinc
Value: VF-20 $0.15 or EF-40 $0.20

I have a 1944 wheat penny, no mint mark on it. Someone told me to try a magnet and see if it is attracted to it to see if it was a steel penny. The magnet is attracted to the sides and reverse side. Is this normal? I apologize, I am a novice at collecting right now.

This is not really normal but all metals have some magnetic properties.
The best way to find this error is to weigh the coin.

I just listed a 1948 double die reverse on ebay with no clue of its worth. I started the bidding at .99 cent . there is very clear doubling on "E PLURIBUS UNIM" and on the "E" in "ONE". WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE VALUE OF THIS COIN?

As far as I know this doesn't exist.
It is probably a Machine Doubling that has no extra value above $0.10.
I would have to see it to make sure.

Hi, I have a 1944 penny and it is about 1/4 to 1/3 of the normal thickness of a regular penny. The condition is not great, but everything is legible on the coin and it was not smashed or anything because you can feel the texture the same as other pennies. How do I find out what this is worth?
The 1948 Doubling is not a true Doubled Die it is machine doubling (MD).
The doubling is flat and has no notching this is typical of MD, sorry.
Great images though.

This just seems like a worn coin it happens all the time with pure copper coins.

Depends on which type but weighing it and comparing it to the real version of whatever coin you have.
I have a 1944 copper penny that appears to be a misprint. The bottom of the '9', or tail, is missing, so the date reads 1044.
The coin is in reasonably good condition. It was included in package of vending machine 'Lucky Strike' cigarettes about fifty years ago, when American tobacco company wrapped two pennies in a pack as your change.
Just wondering if this may have a value to a collector.

Just a Struck Through Grease error, no extra value, if you had the unopened pack with the pennies in it would worth more than $0.03 of this coin.

Unfortunately I don't buy or sell anything here and at $0.03 it is common.
I have 6 $2 dollar bills, uncut. All the numbers have like 4 3's in the serial number which is for good luck I guess. Any Idea on how much that would be worth?
the 4 3's are wrong, they have a series of numbers that are suppose to be for good luck. Not sure what they were exactly though
$2 dollar bills, uncut...they have a series of numbers that are suppose to be for good luck.
They average $20.00 but for some people who collect lucky numbers it may be more but that is a small market.
Hello my name is Scott. While working on an internal demo of a 100 plus year old home I found some coins in the wall. I have 2 rolls of 1955 P wheat pennies that are sealed in paper wrap with foil around the pennies befor the paper. each wrapper is stamped uncirc. any ideas if these are worth anything or not. Also found in the wall were 2 rolls of 1944 P pennies. Wrapped and stamped the same way.

Probably not original bank rolls.
1955 about $0.50 for each coin
1944 about $0.20 for each coin
If they are original gov't/bank rolls multiply by ten.

3 things you can do...
1. weigh it, if real it would weigh 3.11 grams
2. measure it, should be 19mm
3. take pictures and post it somewhere then drop a link here.
All that said I think fake since this is a somewhat rare coin that is often faked.

Weigh it, I suspect a plated cent but the only weigh to know is by weighing it to a 0.01 gram accuracy.

Sounds like Hub doubling, no extra value.
As far as I know no true doubling exist for this cent.
If true doubling it would start at $20.00.

have a 1960 silver penny ways 3.2 grams any ideas on the value?
1960 silver penny ways 3.2 grams
A normal 1960 cent weighs 3.11 grams meaning at 3.15 grams it is normal and in your scale would read 3.2. It would be better to get a more accurate scale.
I think yours is a plated normal cent done outside the mint. No extra value.
I checked the foreign production figures and no other coin in 1960 was 3.20 grams. So an off-metal error is not likely.

I have a 1776 penny thing with a picture of a pine tree on one side and a man sitting down on this circle-shaped object with a spire in his hand on the other side of the coin. It says MASSACHUSETTS STATE tracing the circumference on the side with the pine tree while the words LIBERTY AND VIRTUE trace the circumference on the other side. It is in fair condition for its age and the way the coin appears to have been made matches the engraving techniques of the time. Can I get anything out of it like a few bucks or so?

Only one was ever found and it is in the Smithsonian many fakes exist which is what you probably have.
That said if real it would be worth millions and can only be verified by the Smithsonian itself.

It could be but there are 13 varieties most are worth just a few dollars.
Check out this link to see which variety you have, hopefully it is one of the valuable ones. Good luck...
1972 Doubled dies
1975 penny that seems to have been doubled on the word LIBERTY
This one is not listed anywhere, while a true Doubled Die is possible it would be worth a hundred or more.
I suspect this is hub doubling that is often seen in and has no extra value.
Either have some one verify in hand or take excellent pictures and place them online for others to evaluate.
I think that it is the second one on list, which is worth up to 200 dollars. However, I happened to look at the collumns on the back and there appears to be an octopus floating in between the two middle columns. is this damage?
This 1DO-002 does not show the back so I not sure how it is supposed to look.
Unfortunately if it's an a octopus stamped/etched in it loses all value.
If you means something that is looks squiggly like an octopus it could be damage or a die clash, someone needs to see it to verify.
I just realized, my coin looks and sounds exactly like the second one on the list. But the ones an the list are 1972 P mine is a 1972 S.
forget the octopus. I looked at a newer coin and it is a person that has had some wear to him
my coin looks and sounds exactly like the second one on the list. But the ones an the list are 1972 P mine is a 1972 S.
Again only one is valuable 3 1972-S varieties so check them over click to see the "marker photos" to get betters shots.
forget the octopus.
Forgotten.
It turns out it was the third one on the list, which makes it worth up to about 23 dollars. Not that much but I finally found something that is worth over 1 dollar. YIPPIE!
Also, Do you have a link that shows what the grading scale is for the condition of a coin besides the wheat cent guide?
Not that much but I finally found something that is worth over 1 dollar. YIPPIE!
Congrats I found one also this 1972P-1DO-008 but in low grade.
This one is okay but the description are more useful, google as many wheat cent grading sites as you can read and it will become easier to see the difference.
I have a 1982 penny that appears to be doubled on the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST. according to another site, there should only be doubling on IN GOD WE TRUST. Do you agree with this and is my coin worth anything?
1982 penny that appears to be doubled on the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST. according to another site, there should only be doubling on IN GOD WE TRUST.
There are 3 varieties and the one you describe does exist although very light doubling, 1982 DDO.
You may have hub doubling that is worth nothing butyou can check the link to compare with true doubled dies.
I have a 1981 D penny that appears to be doubled on the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST. I have not heard of this before.
1981 D penny that appears to be doubled on the date, LIBERTY, and IN GOD WE TRUST
Never seen this one, it is not listed, I think all that were found have been hub doubling with no extra value.
I have a 1998 penny that is off center on its obverse to the point where there is no rim left next to LIBERTY. Is is worth much?
I have another 1972 penny that appears to be doubled in the date. I would look at the other links but this time it is a D mint mark. does that website have pictures and values for this one?
1998 penny that is off center on its obverse to the point where there is no rim left next to LIBERTY
This is less than 15% off-center and has no extra value.
1972 penny that appears to be doubled in the date. I would look at the other links but this time it is a D mint mark.
Yes 2 show more on the date but there are at least 4 known 1972 D.
Although this site is great there are always more doubled dies found everyday that site is just a guide.
Also lots of hub doubling which are common and worth nothing extra.
I have a 1944S in fair condition,what would the value be?
1944S in fair condition about $0.05
In a guide that I have for valuable coins, It says for a 1997 penny, "double die, look at the ear lobe like the 84". What does this mean?
I have a 1970s penny with the s moved up to where it is almost touching the 9 and 7 in the date. is this worth anything?
In a guide that I have for valuable coins, It says for a 1997 penny, "double die, look at the ear lobe like the 84".
It means that the Doubling is the same as the famous 1984 Doubled Ear cent.
Here is a link: Doubled Ear 1984
1970s penny with the s moved up to where it is almost touching the 9 and 7 in the date
Common the S is punched separately and often is far or near the date.
No extra value.
I have a 1970 penny with no mint mark that appears to have mild doubleing in the L in LIBERTY. Do you have any links to pictures that are similar to this?
I have a 1982 coin that may be very mildly doubled, but that is not why I am posting this. On the revers, in between the collumns, there are lines that range anywhere from almost vertical, to about how the lines on the thing outside a barber shop are. I can even feel them so they are not scketched in by a pencil (although they are about the right color). any idea what this is?

Sounds like someone polished a die leaving scratch marks that transferred to the coin.
This is often found on late stage dies that also cause hub doubling.
But they are not scratches, they are raised.
But they are not scratches, they are raised.
Yes scratches on the die turned into raised bumps on a coin.
Dies are things that are pressed into coins and have reverse images and cutouts to make coins.
1983d penny possibly doubled on reverse. any pics?
1992 penny. The rim is doubled!I can see an off center shadow of a rim that strethces from below the TRUST and below the LIBERTY. have you ever heard of this and is it worth anything?
1971 penny that has a very very red color to it. Isn't normally this red color in the wheatbacks that have been very well preserved?
also,on the 1971 penny, the R in LIBERTY has what looks like a scratch that makes the R look like an X
I hate to keep piling these up, but I have a 1972d penny that has a reversed L for the I in LIBERTY. It does not look like a scratch or any other kind of damage. it is too exact.

No. There have not been any reported.

Not doubling.
This is a minor misaligned die error, no extra value.
1971 penny that has a very very red color to it. Isn't normally this red color in the wheatbacks that have been very well preserved?
Could have been heateed or cleaned? Sometimes odd colors are a result of an attempt to raise the grades.
This is considered damage. Must be seen in hand to verify.

Again it could be damage or some minor die break error. No extra value either way.
No need for the pictures of the 1983. There is no doubt. the whole building is doubled! according to a guide, it is worth up to 250 dollars in AU condition. Do you agree with that, and what is the definition of AU?

If 1983 and doubling on the words also then yes.
IF 1983-D and just the building I suspect it is not true doubling.
AU means about uncirculated.
AU-50 = About Uncirculated,Obverse has a very slight worn on cheek.Reverse has slight wear.
If you are the one asking all these question about doubling the most important is make sure it is true doubled dies and not machine doubling.
Yes, I have a little trouble telling the differnce, Is there any special way to tell?
I do not see any doubling on the words, so I guesss it is only worth face value. Oh well. Still looking for a big one.

True doubling is curved and on the same level as the original.
Machine doubling is flat and on a lower level than the original. Often these are on late stage dies that have die scratches, breaks, and other artifacts.
What about letters that are bold? some, like the 1982 penny, are often bold. yet when I looked at the links for the 1970 and 1972, I could not see anything more than a bold letter where it said there was doubling.

Bold letters are common on some years do to minor design changes.
The problem with true doubling is that it is subtle and very difficult to take a picture of.
Often it looks like a small crease at the end of the letter and that is enough to be called doubling.
I found a 1989 penny. If you drew a line from the top of the coin to the bottom of the coin, on both sides, one line would start and end in a slightly different place than the other. I forget what this is called, but is it worth anything?
I just realized that most of the other coinss are this way, but the reason I thought it might be valuable was because I picked up one that didn't have this on it.

Rotated reverse error generally are not valuable unless they are 45 degrees or more.
I have another 1982 penny. This time there appears to be two I in LIBERTY. THey both start at the bottom in exactly the same place, but it looks like one was bent to the left, and then both of them were very mildly doubled.
Actually, on a closer look, it looks like the I that is not bent is leaning to the right, making it look somewhat like a very skinny V
I have a 1979 penny that appears to have a period inbetween the B and E in LIBERTY. Damage?

Damage or minor doubling or die break either way it sounds too minor to have any value.
1979 penny that appears to have a period inbetween the B and E in LIBERTY. Damage?
No.
Die break error very common it adds no extra value unless big enough to cover 10% of the design or more.
I have a 1994d penny that has another d scratched to the right of the regular d. It is pointing toward the 4 in the date. Also, there appears to be a hole on lincolns shoulder and some more on the reverse. The coin is already very beat up, and I assume that the d is damage, but I just want to make sure.

Sounds damaged, no extra value.
I have a 1978d penny that has the mint mark rotated I would say about 7-10 degrees to the right. Any value?

No extra value, mint marka are often in different places and slightly rotated.
I have a 2003 penny that is possibly doubled. according to a guide, there have been a few reports of double die pennies from this date. However this was on the reverse in the steps. I do not see this. Could you describe with as much detail as possible what to look for with real doubling. If this is real, how much would it be worth?
Come on big money!

The steps would be wavy, instead of straight they would bend under each column.
I can't really get more detailed as they are too difficult to describe. Once you no what a machine double is it's easier to distinguish from true double.
Like I said it has to do with flat and lower level(false doubling) versus curved and even (true doubling).

I forgot to say, the doubling in mine is not on the reverse, it is in LIBERTY. If this is real, how much would it be worth? I have looked at it many times and I cannot say whether it is true doubling or not. I do not have anything but a weak magnifying glass, so it looks too small to tell.

About $1.00, invest in a microscope or loop if you want to continue collecting doubled die errors.
I have a 1986d penny that has the L in LIBERTY pretty much gone. You can barly make it out. the coin itself is in about EF-40 condition. It is just the L that is worn. any value?

Struck Through Grease error, no extra value.
Since the die used to press coins are the inverse design occasionally they get filled with gunk and pieces of the design are missing.
I have another 2003 penny that appears to be doubled, this time it is a tiny bit more noticable and it appears to be doubled in IN GOD WE TRUST as well as LIBERTY.

Average is $2.00 in fine but check here for more specifics.
2003 DDO
1990 penny, tiny bubbles cover entire obverse and reverse, accompanied by some vertical lines.
1990 penny, tiny bubbles cover entire obverse and reverse, accompanied by some vertical lines.
Bubbles are caused by the bad heating of the zinc and copper layers, extremely common, no extra value. In most cases it will lower the value.
Vertical lines are die scratches transferred to the coin. No extra value.
I looked at the link and none of them look like mine, and it looks like the ones in the link are 2003p, I have 2003d
I have 2003d
No 2003D have been found but if they look similar the value of $2.00 for fine is still accurate.
1999d penny mild doubling of LIBERTY. any value?

I have a 1973 nickel that has very funny looking letters. The TY in LIBERTY has what appears to be a line going accross the bottom of the letters. Below this line the letters are looking somewhat deformed, like they were melted. This is also visible in the 197 of the date. All of the letters and numbers are bold except for LIBERTY. GOD WE TRUST has the bottom of its letters also deformed, and the bottom of the letters in WE are gone. Do you have any idea what this is, and if it has any value?
I have a 1988 penny that has mild soubling in LIBERTY. any value?
also a 2004 penny with mild doubling.
forgot to mention that 2004 penny only has doubling in LIBERTY

Sounds like a Late Stage Die error, it seems that die used to started to break. These are common and have no extra value.
It could also be outside damage but that also has no extra value.
1988 penny that has mild soubling in LIBERTY.
About $2.00 in fine and $7.00 in mint state.
2004 penny with mild doubling
About $2.00 in fine and $10.00 in mint state.
2008 penny with mild doubling in LIBERTY. I cannot tell, but I think that there may be Doubling in IN GOD WE TRUST
2008 penny with mild doubling in LIBERTY. I cannot tell, but I think that there may be Doubling in IN GOD WE TRUST
None have been reported on the P only D.
Still if mild doubling about $2.00 in and $8.00 in mint state.
1996 mild doublind in LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST.
forgot, the 2008 is a D
