Oftentimes, Americans will subconsciously pass through potentially valuable coins each day.
A common place is within your spare change – whether that’s in a coin jar, cupholders, or underneath the sofa.
The most valuable pieces feature key dates, errors, or high grades.
In particular, there’s something special about a Lincoln penny with a 1980s date.
A coin collector, who goes by Treasure Town on TikTok revealed why in a recent video.
Why it’s valuable
The exact date is 1988, meaning the Lincoln memorial design is present on the reverse.
This was meant to honor the 150th anniversary of the former President’s birth.
But most importantly, you’ll want to look out for a double ear on the obverse side of the coin.
“Lincoln has his normal ear there, but then it’s almost like a second ear lobe that’s protruding from underneath his ear,” Treasure Town said.
