2021 Penny Errors, Varieties, and Values
2021 penny errors and varieties in mint state condition are excellent coin specimens for collecting. Furthermore, value is impacted depending on the condition of the coin, the type of error or variety it is, along with its graded population.
For instance, observe a 2021 Lincoln cent doubled die obverse variety compared to a normal 2021 penny in the images. Note the doubling under Lincoln’s ear lobe. This rare coin variety gained its fame for all the doubled ear penny years.
Moreover, rare coins remain in high demand and are even more valuable in pristine condition. Are you searching for penny errors and varieties in uncirculated 2021 Lincoln cent rolls? It’s how I found these rare coins! Additionally, examining 2021 mint sets ensures a mint state grade proof specimen.
2021 Shield Cent Doubled Dies
Does your 2021 shield cent look like it has an extra ear? How do you discern the difference? Is it a genuine die variety or a contact mark? First, if a coin took a hit, then that area on the coin will appear flattened.
Second, when a penny is doubled, like this doubled die obverse with doubling under Lincoln’s ear is, then the area will be raised like a bubble letter instead of a flat shelf-like appearance.
Daniel of Portsmouth Coin Shop explains the differences between rare doubled ear cent Lincoln pennies, and contact marks, or post mint damage (PMD,) on wheat cents and memorials.
Coin Guides and References
Furthermore, Daniel made the effort to put together references online of cherry pickers’ lists of Lincoln cent doubled die varieties, and key date coins for coin investors to utilize when considering which coin types to invest in.
Collecting Rare & Valuable Coins
“If collecting coins by date and mint mark became unexciting over the years, then do research into what varieties can be found for any series collected. It might re-kindle your passion for collecting and expand your enjoyment of the hobby.” – Jeff Garrett
2021 Penny Errors & Values
Furthermore, submitting a coin for grading doesn’t always equal a large profit. Moreover, the cost of grading coins isn’t an option for everyone. However, when coins turn out to be highly sought after error or doubled die variety, then clear images is all that’s necessary to list them for sale online.
Moreover, as long as you have the highest graded coin in the lowest population, it’ll be the most valuable coin. Not all pennies are worth a lot of money, but some really are, therefore invest your time and efforts wisely!
2021 Penny Value
For instance, a 2021-D 1C Shield cent graded MS66, sold at auction for $75.00. It’s the grade that made it more valuable, even without being an error or variety. Furthermore, a 2021 P Lincoln Shield cent graded MS67RD, sold for $73.
However, the coins had to be in pristine condition in order for these pennies to be worth money. 2021 Lincoln cent errors and varieties don’t have to be pristine to be valuable because they’re rare variety coins, and more scarce than its counterparts.
Variety & Error Pennies Are Worth Money
According to the recent sold listings on Ebay, 2021 doubled die varieties sell for $5 and up in raw condition. If you’ve found one yourself, you can choose to send it off for grading and then to auction, keep it in your own collection, or list it for sale as ungraded on eBay.com. It’s your choice.
