1969 Penny Could Be Worth $600K | Birmingham News

That 1969 penny you’ve got tucked away? It could be worth up to $600,000 thanks to a rare doubled die error — a minting glitch that turned it into a collector’s dream. While values range from $38,000 to that jaw-dropping top tier, its rarity is no accident: back in the day, people thought these coins were fakes, and the Secret Service even destroyed many of them. Featuring Lincoln’s profile, “In God We Trust,” and the iconic Lincoln Memorial on the reverse, this coin marks the first time a president’s face graced U.S. currency. Next time you rummage through old pockets or jars, keep an eye out — you might just unearth a hidden fortune. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
