5 Most Valuable Wheat Pennies 

Here is the list of the top 5 valuable wheat pennies that are worth the most in the current times. 

The 1943 P Bronze wheat penny is one of the rarest coins, making a significant place in the hearts of numismatists. Due to the history of the 1943 steel penny, these coins hold the highest wheat penny value at the current time. 

It is an extremely rare error coin that was minted during World War II when the pennies were made with steel due to a shortage of copper. During that time, some pennies were mistakenly made with bronze (copper) that are now valued the highest among wheat pennies. 

For a similar reason to the 1943 P Bronze wheat penny, the 1943 D BN wheat penny is also an error coin that was mistakenly minted with bronze during the outbreak of World War II. 

Furthermore, this coin is minted in Denver, which makes it into the list of most valuable wheat pennies. 

Another bronze wheat penny that was minted during the shortage of copper, the  1943 S Bronze wheat penny, got stuck in the San Francisco mint. These coins are very few, as the mintage rate of the San Francisco mint is the lowest among all the US mints. 

The 1944 S Steel wheat penny is a famous and valuable coin whose value can range from a couple of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of US dollars. These coins were made by accidental steel getting molded in 1944 blanks, which were meant for 1943 pennies. 

These pennies were also accidentally stuck when the steel designated for 1944 wheat penny blanks was unexpectedly used for 1944 pennies. This error raised the value and significance of the 1944 P steel wheat penny among collectors and enlisted this coin in the list of most valued wheat pennies.
