How much is a 1941 U.S. penny worth?

Question

I have a 1941 United States Lincoln penny. I want to know how much it is worth? I can either save it or sell it. I really don't have a clue about what to do with it?

Answer 1

The 1941 Lincoln cent has a mintage of 887,039,100, one of the highest mintage figures in the series, and therefore it's far from rare or even scarce. According to my latest coin values magazine, a 1941 cent in circulated condition is worth $0.05 to $0.50 depending on the level of wear. But these are book retail values coz in reality, they are way too common and are normally being offered at the coin shop for a flat 5 cents each. So I'd say save it coz it's not worth the time and trouble trying to sell. Lincoln cents are, however, highly collectable in premium uncirculated grades, meaning those cents with full and bright luster without prints or distracting marks.

Answer 2

It would have to be in pristine condition to get anything over a penny for it, from a coin collector. Did you know that a penny today cost 4.5 cents to make? That's why the government is trying to get rid of the little penny.

Answer 3

3-5¢

Answer 4

Your 1941 US penny is ONLY worth 1 cent.....
