🔥 Is Your 1987-D Penny Worth a Jackpot? Here’s How to Tell! 🔥

🪙 That ordinary 1987-D Lincoln penny sitting in your change jar might not be so ordinary after all. Some 1987-D cents struck in Denver contain rare doubled die errors—and those mistakes can turn a 1¢ coin into a $500–$2,000 collector’s prize.

Here’s how to find out if you’re holding a hidden treasure.

🧠 Quick History of the 1987-D Penny

• Lincoln Cent Series: Began in 1909 to honor Abraham Lincoln.
• Memorial Reverse: Featured from 1959 until 2008.
• 1987-D Penny: Struck in Denver, with billions minted—most common, but a few carry valuable doubled die errors.

🔍 How to Spot a Rare 1987-D Error Penny

Use this collector’s checklist:

✅ Mint Mark: Look for the “D” under 1987 (Denver issue).
✅ Doubling Signs: Check “IN GOD WE TRUST,” “LIBERTY,” and the date.
✅ Odd Shadows/Lines: Around Lincoln’s face or lettering may indicate a doubled die.
✅ Natural Doubling Only: Avoid mistaking scratches, damage, or machine doubling.
✅ Magnification Required: A 10x jeweler’s loupe is your best friend.

⚠️ Watch Out for Fakes: Always compare with verified error examples online—or check photo references at PennyVerse.info.
