I have a 1992 penny and I'm wondering if there's any error on it. I've heard that some coins have minting errors or other types of rarities that can make them valuable. Can you tell me if my 1992 penny has any such error?

    Start by inspecting the reverse side of the penny. This is crucial as the distinguishing characteristics are found here. Pay close attention to the lettering.

    Focus on the word "America" engraved on the coin. Specifically, look at the letters A and M within this word. These letters can indicate whether you have a rare variant or a common one.

    If you notice that the letters A and M are positioned close to each other, almost touching, you might have stumbled upon the rare 1992 close AM penny. This variety is highly sought after by collectors.

    Conversely, if there is a noticeable space between the letters A and M, your penny retains its original value. It means that your coin is worth just one cent and is a common circulation piece.
