The 1992 penny: a common find, but some are rare. Learn what makes certain 1992 pennies valuable.
Key factors: condition, mint mark, and errors. These aspects greatly influence a penny's worth.
Most 1992 pennies are worth face value. However, a close AM variety can be worth much more.
The 'Close AM' error refers to the spacing between 'A' and 'M' in 'AMERICA' on the reverse side.
1992 pennies from the Philadelphia mint may have the close AM error. No mint mark indicates Philly origin.
Denver minted pennies (marked with a 'D') are common, but check for errors that could increase value.
Proof pennies from San Francisco mint (marked 'S') are collectibles, often worth more than face value.
Condition matters: Uncirculated or proof pennies can fetch higher prices among collectors.
