With National Coin Week approaching, Cointrackers.com created "a cool list" of the top 25 most valuable pennies ever minted in the United States.
According to stats from the money measuring site, whose database consists nearly entirely of coins from the years 1880s through 2024, pennies minted in 1943 and 1944 come in at No. 1 and No. 2 on the list.
"These coin values are not based off common errors like double dies, but rather coins that were issued into circulation as is," the self-dubbed "Coin Value and Silver Market Specialists" wrote on its website created for coin lovers.
National Coin Week is the third week of every April.
This year it's April 21-27.
Here a list of the top 10 most valuable pennies and what they are worth to date:
