Discovering 1955 Penny Values and Prices

The 1955 Lincoln penny, designed by Victor D. Brenner, is a highly sought-after coin among collectors. Millions of these coins were minted and circulated in the past, but today they are rare and only found in coin collections and hoards. The value of the 1955 penny is determined by a variety of factors, and this article will provide an overview of its current worth.

1. 1955 D penny

• Value: 15 cents to $6.00
• Grade: Depends on the condition of the coin
• Sold: There are no exact statistics yet

The 1955 Penny, a Lincoln coin minted in the United States, is a Wheat cent designed by Victor David Brenner. It features the iconic image of Abraham Lincoln in the center and two stalks of wheat at the tail, as is typical of Wheat cent coins. The coin is composed of copper, tin and zinc.

The 1955 D penny was minted at the Denver workshop, with the letter D serving as its typical production symbol. The 1955 Denver Workshop minted 563,257,500 coins, featuring the same design and shape as other coins of the era, with the addition of a ‘D’ under the year. However, not all of these coins are considered collectible, as they do not meet the standards required for auction.

The 1955-D Lincoln wheat penny is the most produced of its kind, and thus its value is not as high as other coins. In medium condition, it is estimated to be worth around 15 cents, while in mint condition (MS+), it can range from $0.39 to $6.00 or more. If you are fortunate enough to possess a double error coin, it may be worth more than the regular one.

2. 1955 S penny

• Value: $0.03 – $22.00
• Grade: Sharp and smooth
• Sold: There are no exact statistics yet

The 1955 S penny is the rarest of all 1955 coins, making it the most valuable. This coin was minted in San Francisco, and is identifiable by the “S” printed beneath the year of issue. Rarity is the primary factor in determining the value of this 1955 penny.

The 1955 S penny, produced in San Francisco, is highly valued due to its rarity; only 44,610,000 coins were minted out of the nearly 1 billion coins produced that year. This small amount accounts for why the factory ceased production of the 1955 coins.

The 1955 S coin has a weight of 3.11 grams and a diameter of 19.05mm. At a test shop, its value is estimated to be around $0.03 in medium condition. However, if the coin is in good condition and acyclic, its worth can range from $8.00 to $22.00.

3. 1955 Australian penny coin

• Value: $0.45 (Circulated) to $395 (Uncirculated)
• Grade: Full of detail, smooth
• Sold: More than 6 million

The 1955 Australian penny is a small denomination of the Australian Pound that is similar in size, weight and composition to the British decimal coin, measuring 30.8 mm in diameter, weighing 9.45 grams and having a ratio of 97% copper, 2.5% zinc and 0.5% tin. The coins, which were in circulation for 11 years until 1066, have not been demonetized and remain legally tendered.

Mary Gillick designed the coin, which features an image of Queen Elizabeth II in her “first portrait” on one side, facing right and with a laurel wreath neatly tied at the back of her head. The other side of the coin bears the symbol of Australia – the kangaroo.

The value of an Australian penny from 1955 is contingent upon a variety of factors, including quality, wear, and coin grade. Generally, a coin in average condition can be worth more than $0.45. However, coins in special grade can be worth up to $395, with an average of $17.00.

4. 1955 British penny

• Value: $0.10 to $75.00, the highest is 700 dollars (Uncirculated)
• Grade: Depends on the grade and condition of the coin; higher value when it is in non-circulating type.
• Sold: No exact statistics have been released yet

The 1955 British penny pays homage to Queen Elizabeth II, with a design similar to that of the Australian coin. The image of the Queen is printed in exquisite detail, exalting her beauty. On the reverse side of the coin is an image of a large boat, symbolizing sea trade. A boat with three masts is depicted in the center of the coin, situated above the face value and below the year of issue.

This 25.44 mm diameter coin, weighing approximately 5.6 grams, is composed primarily of copper. In 1955, 18 million coins were minted, making them
a rare commodity and driving up their value far beyond their original 1/2 cent denomination. As a result, specimens of this coin are highly sought
after and typically fetch a much higher price at auction.

The 1955 penny is of great interest to many collectors, with prices ranging from $0.02 to thousands of dollars. Although the design of most one-cent coins is similar, the value of the 1955 penny is determined by a variety of factors, including rarity and classification.
