Unveiling the 1991 Lincoln Cent
The 1991 Lincoln Cent is part of the beloved Lincoln penny series, first introduced in 1909.
While common in circulation, certain 1991 pennies can have significant value to collectors.
Key factors: mint mark location, coin grade, and whether it's a proof or uncirculated coin.
Pennies with 'S' mint marks are proofs, often worth more than their Philadelphia or Denver counterparts.
Errors and varieties, like double dies or off-center strikes, can boost a 1991 penny's value.
High-grade specimens, especially in MS-67 or higher, command premium prices among collectors.
Special sets, like the 1991 Uncirculated Mint Set, can contain pennies with higher collector value.
To determine a penny's worth, consider professional grading and consult a reputable price guide.
Remember, while some 1991 pennies are valuable, most circulated coins are worth only face value.
