The 1935 Wheat Penny is a piece of American history, minted during the Great Depression era.
Recognizable by the wheat stalks on the reverse, it's a collector's item with varying values.
Condition is key: 'Fine' grade pennies are common, but 'Uncirculated' coins can be worth more.
Mint marks matter: Look for small letters like 'D' (Denver) or 'S' (San Francisco) under the date.
No mint mark indicates a Philadelphia origin, often the most common and least valuable.
Special features, such as double die errors, can significantly increase a penny's value.
1935 pennies without errors typically range from a few cents to several dollars.
Rare finds, like the 1935 'Doubled Die' penny, can fetch hundreds or even thousands.
Always consult a professional coin appraiser or price guide for the most accurate valuation.
