5 Copper Coins Worth a Lot of Money

1943 Wheat Penny (Bronze Cent Strike)

The CoinValue website calls this the “rarest and most valuable wheat penny with an error.” It holds the record for the most expensive sale among wheat pennies at $1.7 million, though it is valued at $2.3 million in uncirculated mint condition. Most can be bought and sold for anywhere from $14,000 to $300,000.
