Below you will find a list of rare pennies of the Lincoln Memorial Type as well as some other valuable pennies that you should keep an eye out for, including error coins.
Keep in mind that pennies with the Lincoln Memorial reverse are generally not worth much unless they are of good quality - extremely fine or higher grade.
In the list below, I have marked the coins that are worth more than a few cents (in higher grades) with a red asterick (*).
