5 Rare Coins For You To Find In The Lincoln Memorial Penny Series

For 50 years we used the Lincoln Memorial penny. However, in 2009, the Lincoln cent underwent a major redesign that permanently removed the Lincoln Memorial design from our pennies.

While most Lincoln Memorial pennies are worth only face value if worn and only 5 to 25 cents if uncirculated, there are a few special Lincoln Memorial cents that are worth hundreds -- even thousands -- of dollars.

Here are the values of a few Lincoln Memorial pennies you should be keeping an eye out for:

* 1969-S Doubled Die cent: $50,000 or more in uncirculated grades
* 1970-S Small Date cent: $50 in Mint State 63
* 1984 Doubled Die cent: $75 and up in uncirculated grades
