Please help verify: 1969 S Copper Lincoln Penny 3.1g

I noticed that a penny I came across looked rather peculiar, but I just couldn’t put my finger on it. A couple days later my girlfriend took the time to identify this 1969 S Lincoln Memorial Penny that weighs 3.1grams! We are very excited, and looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Welcome to the forum. I have to say though I am a bit confused. What do you feel is special about your coin? That is the normal weight for a 1969 s cent.

 

3.1g is what it is supposed to weigh...What makes you think it is special?

 

There is a '69-S Doubled Die that is worth a lot of money, but this is not it.

So why is it that this penny that appears identical to mine worth so much?

The Etsy listings are looking for suckers

 

The Etsy listings have no basis in reality whatsoever. Yours is a normal 1969 s cent.

 

This. Etsy is in no way a respectable resource for buying coins or determining value of coins.

 

Etsy is a joke! Many of the coins that are listed there have ludicrous prices. Stick around with us and you will understand better. We will not deceive you.

 

On Etsy there is always a big difference between "Listed Price" and actual "Value".

 

When you find one like this let us know...

 

Understood. Well, thank you all for broadening my fundamental understanding of coin collecting errors (though elementary at the moment).

My girlfriend is throwing a tantrum at the moment, she is not please with the verdict. Lol

Anyway, back to hunting, knowing a little more and hungry for more.

Cheers!

 

Good attitude (yours...not your girlfriend's lol). Stick around and learn a few things.

 

She probably wants you to take her out to dinner to make up for your mistake.

That happens with a LOT of newbies.

 

I just found a 2020 w v75 quarter .I understand a reward is offered by pcgs or whatever they're called. Anybody know if that's still in effect?

 

A couple of finds today
I am wondering about the 94 cent here
That little space between the am. The fg has safets on the g also .what would that be ? A 93 error want on a 94 highly unlikely but the fg kinda backs up the lil gap the f is even with the edge of memorial too

 

More finds lately

 

Found this last month

 

Wow , I'm totally confused .
One post at a time and show full pics too .
Ahh I'm just done this morning .
