THE 1995 PENNY THAT COULD BE WORTH $5,000+ – HERE’S WHAT TO LOOK FOR

WHY SOME 1995 PENNIES ARE VALUABLE

While most 1995 Lincoln Memorial pennies are worth face value, rare errors and high-grade specimens can fetch 100to100to5,000+. The key is knowing these 4 valuable varieties to check for in your change.


TOP 4 VALUABLE 1995 PENNY TYPES

1. 1995 Doubled Die Obverse (DDO) – Worth Up to $5,000

  • How to Spot It:
    • Clear doubling in “LIBERTY” or the date “1995” (use 10x magnification)
    • Most noticeable on the “9” in the date and Lincoln’s cheekbone
  • Value: 300–300–5,000+ (depending on doubling strength and grade)

2. 1995-D Close “AM” Variety – Worth 50–50–1,000

  • How to Spot It:
    • The “A” and “M” in “AMERICA” nearly touch on the reverse
    • Regular coins have clear spacing between the letters
  • Value: 50–50–1,000 for uncirculated examples

3. 1995 Proof-Like Penny (No Mint Mark) – Worth 100–100–500

  • How to Spot It:
    • Mirror-like surfaces (accidental proof-like strike)
    • Must be in pristine condition with full red luster
  • Value: 100–100–500 for MS-67+ Red coins

4. Off-Center Strike Error – Worth 20–20–300

  • How to Spot It:
    • Design is noticeably misaligned (10%–50% off-center)
    • More extreme misalignments = higher value
  • Value: 20–20–300 depending on severity


HOW TO CHECK YOUR 1995 PENNIES

  1. Examine Under Magnification:
    • Use a 10x loupe to check for doubling in “LIBERTY” or the date
  2. Look at the Reverse:
    • Check the spacing in “AMERICA” (Close AM variety)
  3. Check the Mint Mark:
    • “D” (Denver) – More likely to have valuable errors
    • No mint mark (Philadelphia) – Can have proof-like strikes
  4. Assess Condition:
    • Full red luster (RD) = Most valuable
    • Red-brown (RB) or brown (BN) = Lower value

    I have a 1941 no mint mark penny…with a perfect obverse. And totally blank/smooth/ never struck reverse. Help? Do I have it graded? Being told they’re everywhere. I’m 78 years old. Never seen any, anywhere. Have you seen any, anywhere? Ron DeLuca
