How much is my 1979 O mintmark penny worth?

    I found this penny in under my car today and I was wondering how much it's worth. My friend told me that if I had an O mint mark it was worth a lot of money. Comments please. I need to sell it today to pay my rent. It has some really cool marks on it, I'm pretty sure it was mangled at the mint, and it has a really cool coloring to it. I think the D on God might be doubled as well as some of the word trust on the heads side. Please message me if you're interested with your offers.

    Rocking Rae!

    Ok now you are going out on a limb...
    I'm re-considering what I said earlier in your Ike thread.

    Sorry, but that's not an "O" mintmark. It's likely a distorted "D".

    Double Die I know just enough to be dangerous

    That one looks like someone took a meat tenderizer to it. The 70's weren't a great decade for mint marks, but that one has been hit and hit again and again...

    It has more than the average amount of
    deep cuts and hits, all over the surface.

    PMD, sorry

    You first question about a coin should never be about its possible worth.

    Unless you are trying to make exact change at the store.
