STOP what you are doing and check for these “Forbidden” U.S. Pennies before they disappear from circulation forever!
💎 [Value]
Why are these coins “banned” or “desperate to be kept quiet”? In numismatics, these are known as Transitional Errors—coins that were never supposed to exist because they were struck on the wrong material or with the wrong dies during secret manufacturing shifts.
1. The 1943 Bronze “Forbidden” Penny
-
The Error: In 1943, the U.S. Mint officially switched to steel pennies to save copper for WWII ammunition.
-
The Secret: A tiny handful of pennies were accidentally struck on leftover 1942 bronze planchets.
-
The Payout: These are so rare that one example sold for a staggering $2.3 Million. If it’s 1943 and it sticks to a magnet, it’s common steel. If it doesn’t stick, you just hit the lottery.
2. The 1982-D Small Date Copper
-
The Error: 1982 was the year the Mint switched from 95% copper to copper-plated zinc.
-
The Secret: For decades, it was a “myth” that the Denver Mint struck the “Small Date” variety on a copper blank.
-
The Discovery: Only two specimens have ever been authenticated. One found in 2016 sold for over $18,000.
-
How to Identify: It must have a “D” mint mark, the “Small Date” style (curved ‘2’), and weigh exactly 3.11 grams (zinc versions weigh only 2.5g).
3. The 2001-D “Mule” Penny
-
The Error: A “mule” is a coin struck with dies from two different denominations.
-
The Secret: Fewer than 10 are believed to exist.
-
The Payday: These feature the Lincoln obverse but the back of a Roosevelt Dime. Recent auction results have topped $114,000.
