The US Mint did not issue a gold 1969 penny. Copper does tarnish and can appear as a golden hue. A circulated copper 1969 Lincoln Cent has little value above the value of the copper it...
The short answer is 1 cent. If it was in choice uncirculated condition it would be worth as much as 35 cents. The current value of the copper contained in a 1969 cent is about 1.9 cents.
