2021 Cent Errors, Varieties, & Values
2021 Lincoln cent errors and varieties exist! Furthermore, values vary depending on the condition of the coin, and/or the type of error, and/or die variety a coin is, along with its population. For instance, observe a 2021 Lincoln cent doubled die obverse compared to a normal 2021 penny in the images below. Not the doubling under Lincoln’s ear.
Moreover, rare coins remain in high demand and collect a much higher premium. Are you searching for penny errors and varieties in uncirculated 2021 Lincoln cent rolls? It’s how I found them! Additionally, examining 2021 mint sets ensures a mint state proof specimen.
Doubled Die Variety Coins 2021 Lincoln Shield Pennies
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. When a penny has a doubling, like this doubled die extra ear lobe cent, the area will be raised instead of flat.
Coin Groups & Community Forums
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 memorial pennies.
Furthermore, Daniel made the effort to put together references online of cherry pickers’ lists of Lincoln cent varieties & key dates for members of the coin world community to utilize.
Collecting Rare & Valuable Die Varieties
“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 Lincoln Penny Values
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.
Variety & Error Pennies 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. It’s your decision.

Rare Error & Variety Collectible Coins
I was lured into the lucrative hobby of coin collecting after hearing the memo about the Great American Coin Hunt and West Point quarters in December of 2019. When I first got started searching for collectible coins, I became more ecstatic as I made discoveries for myself. Who doesn’t love a good treasure hunt?
Furthermore, I invested in the coin examination supplies necessary for identifying coin errors and varieties. Essentially, I started writing this blog about my experiences of finding, researching, and identifying coin errors and varieties found in circulation.
Interacting with and learning from others in the coin industry has for the most part been a pleasant experience for me. However, coin collecting books are still very helpful references, and examining coins is a peaceful activity.
Embracing the Coin Hobby
Furthermore, I’m a fairly quick study, but I’m constantly learning something new every day. Therefore I encourage everyone to get more than one opinion. Join coin groups, forums, and communities, and go to all the coin shows scheduled near you. Whatever you decide to do with what you find, enjoy the hunt!
Great American Coin Hunt the Largest Treasure Hunt of All Time
“The Great American Coin Hunt rallied hundreds of coin dealers and thousands of collectors to benefit the coin hobby. The goal simultaneously encouraged new collectors to look at their change for rare coin specimens. Basically, the plan was to disperse over one million rare and valuable collectible coins into circulation.
Additionally, everyone who participated created their own way of helping out. Hiding coins in public places, like Easter eggs. The US Mint created West Point quarters for circulation, which had never been done before.
Furthermore, companies like NGC, PCGS, Littleton Coin Company, and ANA, all participated with their own creative programs. It’s been said that this was the largest numismatic promotional program of all time.” – Rob Oberth – (“Coin Dealers Helping Coin Dealers”)

Have you found or inherited a unique rare coin or collection of them you’d like to sell? “There are at least 5,000 active coin companies in the United States. Moreover, they range in size from one-man operations to multi-national juggernauts with hundreds of employees.
Additionally, there are at least 10 to 15 companies with sales exceeding $100 million per year. APMEX alone once touted annual sales approaching $2 billion or more.” – Jeff Garrett – rarecoingallery.com
Earn Money Flipping Coins
“It is quite funny how under the radar the rare coin business operates. I still get odd looks when I meet someone for the first time, and they ask what I do for a living. More than once, people have asked me if someone can make living selling coins. Happily, I have been doing so for over 40 years!” – Jeff Garrett
