Top 50 Most Valuable Pennies In History

Updated For 2023: The Top 50 Most Valuable U.S. Pennies are constantly changing, and I tried to do my best to do a quick runthrough of some of the highlights of the best errors, varieties, key dates, proofs, patterns, mis-strikes, and other craziness that has happened at the U.S. mint over the past 167 years or so since small-size cent coins started up in 1856!
There have been some re-pricing in coin markets, with certain coins skyrocketing up the ranks, while other coins fall significantly down in value - with one of them going from $1,700,000 in a private sale to $840,000 in public auction (and falling out of #1).

8:45 if it was an 8 over 7, the 7 would be much more prominent. They made the coinz with a steal stamp press to make the mold. Not making each number one at a time.

Back in the early 90s I found a full full adult hand full of old pennies in my grandma's old silver and porcelain coffee pot and I ask if I could have them because I had seen the wheat penny at that point I had never seen one and I was captivated on it well there was 5 other pennies in there , out of the 5 pennies 3 of them had different dates 1943 , 1944 and 1945 or 1942 and what's weird is I remember this happening like it was yesterday enough to remember that I absolutely know there was 3 different dates but don't remember the 3 date because of my memory paying more attention to seeing doubles of 1 of the dates or even 2 dates ether or if that makes sense, but these were the steel pennies but I remember seeing 3 dates, asking my grandma why in the heck are these silver colored, and of she gave me a brief rundown not really letting her finish before I went and contemplating licking my new pennies and adding them to my collection lol not literally licking them just expressing how I was captivated that much more seeing them not having a copper color, , I added them in with the 2 Lincoln pennies I had found in an abandoned house with Nixon's side siluette stamped into them, we didn't have the Internet care back then, ok sorry for the jokes, in all seriousness I do remember 3 different dates, and of course not long after a few years my whole coin collection got stolen out of my 59 Ford panel, my grandma had been working on my collection my whole life and before, it's just sad people take what doesn't belong to them, my grandma did this for all of us bless her life RIP but yah that my story sorry so long 😢
