[NBC5] That’s if you have a 1983 Lincoln penny, says Blake Alma, whose “CoinHub” TikTok account has over 850,000 followers.

In 2017, the rare penny was auctioned for $7,050, according to Professional Coin Grading Service, one of the most popular third-party coin grading and authentication companies.

This special penny lacks a mint mark, according to Alma’s video. A mint mark is the marking on the face side of a coin that indicates where it was created.
