The 1947 Wheat Penny is a classic American coin, part of the Lincoln cent series.
Minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, each variant has its unique value.
No mint mark indicates Philadelphia, 'D' for Denver, and 'S' for San Francisco.
Circulated coins are common, but uncirculated '47 pennies can fetch higher prices.
Condition is key: grades vary from Good to Mint State, affecting the penny's value.
Special features like double die or errors can make a 1947 penny more valuable.
Average circulated 1947 pennies are worth around 15 cents, but can vary.
Uncirculated coins, especially with high grades, can be worth $1 to $4 or more.
Rare errors, like the 1947-S double die obverse, can be worth hundreds of dollars.
Always consult a professional coin appraiser to accurately assess your penny's value.
