I have found a 1945 penny with a mistake on it. Instead of saying "Liberty" as it's supposed to. It says "Liber7y" with a '7' in the place of a 'T'. I'm wondering how much this penny could possibly be worth.

As far as I know there is no 1945 cent that had a number engraved on the die in place of a T. Sorry it happened outside the mint and is just a defaced cent. I have collected coins for over 46 years and have many books on the subject. Sometimes due to metal flow a small amount of metal will make liberty look like, libierty. This is called a " BIE " cent and it actually has little value. a buck or so. Also if the cent has die cracks, the die was coming to it's end and part of the T could have broken off. Even if this happened the coin is is not worth much.

well, probably not much, because there's quarters from the 1960s that are still worth 25 cents. but still you should try calling 411 and ask where u can turn in the penny. the Liber7y thing still confuses me, so maybe that means it's worth something. u can also save it for another like 10 years or more when it will surely be worth plenty. Good luck!!

it depends on the condition of the coin. it will be worth more than one cent. pick up a coin prices magazine and check. i collect coins, so it is a good magazine and pretty accurate. as for the 7 in place a T. i bet you it just faded because i've never heard of that before, but who knows. the value also depends on what mint it's from. go to that website and check it out. http://www.pcgs.com/prices/frame.chtml?type=date&filename=lincoln_cent
it has the coin prices on it, but make sure you know what the gradings mean and what grade your coin is.

Whatever it is worth now, will be a lot less than it is worth in 20 years. Save it for a rainy day.

i have no idea... but thats cool... call your local treasury and ask them... but if i were u i would keep it for another 20-30 years when the govenrment stops making pennies.

1 cent. Probably the top right part of the T faded...

talk to a local coins dealer... Could be a lot, or could be just the $0.01 it is
