    My Greysheet says a Vf 1923 goes for 80¢.

    Would you rather have us lie to you so you can take it to your local B&M and ask a small fortune for it? I'm sure the dealer would get a good laugh at your expense.

    I found this Lincoln Cent with the wheat penny. Is there value in it?

    Well, if you have the other 1,753,266,699 of them, I'd say it might be worth something if you destroyed the rest.

    Most coins were made in the hundreds of thousands or millions, and have been spent thousands of times, wearing down a vast majority of them. So for most coins, the value will be in the coins that were saved in as near perfect condition, or not too many were saved in the first place (key dates and conditional rarities.) Most coins will fall in the common, where the value is low due to large amounts being saved and low demand for the most common grades. Hope this helps.

    It is copper. It would be worth 2¢.

    Add an "S" mintmark to the 1923 and it will be worth 10 times that. If you're interested in finding a coins value there are a number of resources on line. If you have an interest in collecting coins I suggest buying a Redbook and a grading guide.

    Don't be misled @Coinguy123! The 95% copper Lincoln Memorial cents are still considered an alloy, and as such, are only worth 25% of the price of Grade A copper. I believe it takes 142 of them to equal one pound. Do the math!

    And the felony crime of melting it would put you in a negative financial position!
