This penny can be worth up to $85,000, depending on its condition. It’s rare because it was made of copper during World War II, when pennies were made of zinc-coated steel.
The defining feature is that it has a doubling in the date and lettering, so it will say “1955,” “LIBERTY,” and “IN GOD WE TRUST” twice.
This one is similar to the 1955 Double Penny, as the dates and words are doubled. The error occurred due to different circumstances,.
Worth up to $600 to $1,000, this one is a great find. The 1972 Doubled Die Penny has a doubling of the words and the date.
Coin collectors look for any distinctive feature to determine pricing — even a small error could make one worth thousands of dollars.
