Expert: Dan Moore Date: 7/20/2008 Subject: 1973 penny double impression image
Question Hi Dan,
I have a question about a coin my daughter has. It is a 1973D copper penny with the regulaer Lincoln image impression but to the right of that it has a smaller full profile impression that looks like Kennedy to me. Is this a rare coin? Aslo is a 1985D Zinc penney worth anything? Thanks so much, Deb
The 1973-D penny is a manually made novelty item used for advertising. Some businesses would buy these stamped pennies attached to an informational card imprinted with an advertisement for their business. See the attached image. Value at a couple dollars if attached to a card -- 10 cents if not.
The 1985D unfinished planchet error penny is not extremely rare -- value at a dolllar or two.
