How much is a gold 1969 penny worth?

Answer 1

July 17, 2009 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 is made from. In Uncirculated grades, it fairs a little better as shown in the chart below. The mintmark for this coin is located under the date. A letter "D" indicates the coin was minted in Denver. A letter "S" indicates the coin was minted in San Francisco. If there is no letter under the date that indicates the coin was minted in Philadelphia and is shown as 1969-P. Uncirculated Grades..1969-P....1969-D....1969-S MS63...........................$6...........$6...........$7 MS64...........................$12.........$12.........$12 MS65...........................$15.........$17.........$20 There is rare error in the 1969 cent known as the 'double die obverse'. In MS63 its value ranges from $55,000 to $75,000 depending upon the actual condition of the coin.
