I don't think I'm telling you something you don't know when I say that a penny is normally worth one cent. But, did you know that it's possible to find certain pennies in circulation in Missouri that could be worth 5 figures (or more)?
It's hard to believe that pennies still in circulation in Missouri can be worth this much money, but collectors swear it's true. As a matter of fact, a video claims that there's one penny that isn't that old that can be worth up to 4,000 bucks if it has one simple area.
When is a penny worth 10,000 bucks? Answer - not very often. But, there are 3 pennies you can hypothetically find in Missouri that all feature mistakes that could make them worth 5 figures easily.
When I think of valuable coins, I think of those held by collectors that end up going to auction. In this case, that's not accurate. You might want to check your Missouri pennies as one was found in circulation that later sold for 18,000 bucks.
When I was a kid, my dad started me collecting coins and stamps. I wish I had stuck with that as there is a wheat penny you could potentially find in Missouri that could be worth thousands - maybe even up to 200,000 bucks.
