The 1947 Lincoln Penny is a staple in U.S. numismatics, minted just after WWII.
Struck by the U.S. Mint, it features the iconic bust of President Abraham Lincoln.
No mint mark indicates it's from the Philadelphia Mint; 'D' and 'S' denote Denver and San Francisco.
Copper scarcity during war led to steel pennies in 1943, making post-war copper pennies like 1947's sought after.
Collectors value high-grade 1947 pennies, especially those with minimal wear and clear details.
Error coins, such as double dies or off-center strikes, significantly increase a 1947 penny's value.
