The 1969 Lincoln Penny: a common find with potential hidden value.
Minted in billions, these pennies came from Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.
Look for the 'S' mint mark – indicating a San Francisco minted coin, often more valuable.
Key to value: condition, errors, and rarity. Mint state coins fetch higher prices.
Error coins, like doubled dies, can be worth significantly more to collectors.
The 1969-S Lincoln Penny with a doubled die obverse is a rare collector's gem.
Average circulated pennies are worth face value, but keep an eye out for exceptions.
Uncirculated 1969 pennies can be worth a few dollars or more to collectors.
Preserve your pennies properly to maintain their condition and potential value.
