How much is a 1996 penny worth?
Most 1996 pennies are worth only one cent. However, rare high-grade examples can be worth a fortune. A 1996 Philadelphia penny in MS-69 Red sold for over $20,000, while a 1996-D Denver penny in MS-69 Red can sell for over $4,000.
Why are some 1996 pennies so valuable?
The value comes from “Condition Rarity.” Because 1996 pennies were struck on copper-plated zinc and handled roughly in mint bags, finding one in nearly perfect condition (MS-69) is statistically rare, leading to high auction prices from collectors.
