How much is a 1942S copper penny worth?

Answer 1

1942 is not a rare date for Lincoln cents -- and copper is the normal metal for that date (1943 is the year for steel cents, so a copper 1943 is the rare one). In circulated condition your 1942 cent is worth about 3 cents. A nice uncirculated one is worth about $1.00 That's PENNY, not "pennie".

In any case 1942 cents are not rare. In worn condition they're worth less than a dime.

With only moderate wear, a 1942 cent with no mint mark under the date is worth about a quarter. With a D, 30 cents; with an S, 70 cents.

Answer 2

Even though it has reached full retirement age, it is still considered a "common date" by collectors. Unless it is a very high grade uncirculated or proof coin, it is worth less than $1, possibly as little as 3 cents.
