Question
Hi my name Paramjit Lal. I found a 1949 cent in very good condition, Please tell me its price. Thanks.
Hello, Paramjit Lal. Unfortunately, hundreds of millions of U.S. cents were made in 1949, so that they have very little value (not really more than a cent), unless yours is in pristine condition still looking like it was just made. Even then, it would only be worth a dollar or so. You can go to www.ebay.com and do a search for 1949 cent or 1949 penny and see if anyone is selling one (might not be as they are not really that valuable). Jim Lawniczak
