Question
How much is a 1916 wheat penny worth?
Hello Nelly,
Your Lincoln Wheat cent ranges from .50¢ to $5.50 in circulated grades depending on how worn your coin looks. You can judge it against a newer cent using Lincolns Bow Tie as a wear point.
If your coin is in a Mint State Grade or Uncirculated there will be another set of factors involved in pricing it. Let me know if this is the case.
Feel free to ask me any other question you may have concerning US coins.
I hope this information helps.
Good Luck
PapaJack
