I never expected the regular business strike penny to be worth that much. I always learn something new on your channel. Thanks J&B!

[@draythsielaff6998]

This is cool! You know, in 1982 I bought 2 rolls of 1982 D pennies and 1 roll of 1981 D pennies and they have never been out of the roll!

[@Daniel_Antonio_Arellano782]

Then you have a small fortune. They should be in pristine condition.

[@d.w.3690]

Wow, I did not expect the 1981 penny to be so valuable. Another great video! Thank-you J&B for all your hard work to keep us informed, and entertained.

[@barbarar1920]

Who would have thought that a regular BU 1981 P and D could be worth some really good money. Well I wasn't aware. Thank you for sending us this great information.

[@SapphireMoon962]

I just finished going through my brother’s pennies (he saves all his pennies) and found some beautiful 1980 and 1981. I will have to look more closely at them. Most were pretty bad but about 5 really stood out. I would never had thought a penny could be worth that much.

I have a 1981 D penny that I found in my collection. Do you know how much they go for and who would buy it?

[@MichaelEFinds]

I definitely did not think that 1981 cents were very valuable. Time to look through mine and maybe look into buying a mint set! Congratulations on starting up your channels Pammy, Tiny and MMD! Looking forward to your great content! Pammy thanks for being in my livestream and look forward to seeing you there this Sunday!👍

[@ZacquiriKingTv]

I have a 1981 D penny, is it worth anything, if so I'll sell it for half of what it's worth, I just need money for groceries for my family 🤷🏿‍♂️💯

[@billdriscoll770]

I had no idea that the 1981 pennies where going for that much. But I have a bunch in books I'll have to take another look at. Thanks for the information.

[@leann6767]

I never dreamed 1981 pennies could be so valuable! Thanks, J & B!

[@kathykelly821]

I did not know the 1981 was worth so much. Gonna look thru mine. Glad I saved them. Thank you J & B

[@billcheslic2226]

Once again did not know that a 1981 would be worth that much money but what I do know is you should write a book with all the knowledge you share thanks jbcoinsinc .

I didn't realize the '81 penny was so valuable at all. Good information to have J&B. Thanks again

[@mattatchew1894]

1981 worth that much. Wouldn't have thought that. Again gonna have to start search through the change jar again thanks jb for the info always informative

[@hardcorecopper4120]

I would have NEVER guessed a 1981 business strike cent would be so valuable and rare! I’m going to look thru the pennies I inherited from my grandfather...there are some real beauties in there and I may have to get you guys opinion on if I should send them for grading or not! Thanks as always for the wonderful info!

[@tabithagidcomb1]

I was looking thru my coins and I sat thr 1981 D to the side because it was the nicest coin I had and it stuck out. I found your video. Had no idea . So I guess I need to send this in to be graded. Thank you for the video

[@montanatreasurehunter9600]

No I did not expect that kind of price for a 81 penny, it kinda shocked me. Thanks for the info J&B.

[@scottsmith5427]

I didn't expect an 81 to have that kind of value. I have just recently come into a hoard of coins that were saved in a picnic basket. They have lots of 1981's and some are in really good condition. I will have to get a couple graded and see what I have.

[@mbsamula]

any good finds from that? I just found an 81 outside but its pretty banged up

[@1subscriberatatime427]

I didn't know about these until this video Thank you for the information

[@scottjarvie6766]

I have a lot of the 1981 pennies now with the new info you gave us I will look over all of them 👍

[@roberthenry731]

Did not know the 81 cents were that valuable in high grades but, as I am learning, there are lots of common coins that are valuable in higher grades so it don't surprise me, Thanks J&B!

[@shesapeach3535]

Good information, I will now look for 1981 along with 1982 and 1983

[@MeltedCrayons003]

💥♦️💥♦️I would have never expected that the 1981d penny would be worth so much. Wow, thanks for the heads up J & B. Will def. be on the look out for this one. Happy New Years everyone!💥♦️💥♦️

[@timothyeusini6403]

It used to be I didn’t expect such prices when I first started about 6 months ago. But now it seems that most top pops go for thousands. J, I think you should narrate children’s books with that soothing voice of yours. God Bless.

[@RosleHashim]

I never expect that 1981 one cent to be so valuable ..and i have one piece.and also 1975,1979. Thank you sir for your info.

[@mindmirror1838]

I had no clue the 1981 could be worth that much. As all was thanks for the INFO.

[@kahshus]

Very helpful information never expected the value to be so high I have a kid born that year so it’s sentimental for me

[@scottshobbies4310]

Wow didn't expect that. Will definitely have to keep an eye out

[@rogerabdalla2750]

Hi I’m Roger I’m new at this but I found some really incredible pennies dimes nickels quarters in the short time I’ve been doing this and I just want to say I really appreciate your videos

[@rocknrootshomestead7018]

I had no idea the value about the 1981 penny, wow. We have 1. Awesome shout outs, we'll be sure and check out their channels. Thanks for all the info , now I'm off to coin hunt some more...

[@LilyRoseElectric]

Epic.. video.. thank for sharing.. stay positive.. keep digging

[@sharonw9229]

Wow...I keep the 81, 82, 83 years separated. I’ll have to look through my 81’s! Great info! I have mint sets from that year (81). I didn’t know you could take them from a mint set and get it graded. Those errors coins always baffle me, you can’t tell me it’s not intentional. Especially the last one, the 3 strike! I’m not really surprised about the value of the 81 penny...when people want something, they‘ll pay a premium for it!

[@MelchorAbapo-cc2cz]

😢

[@richellef9857]

I didn’t know about the 1981 d penny being valuable I have a few sets from that year. I’m going to start looking for them in my change!!

[@donaldcarter5043]

These 1981 pennies are on my Hot List. I was quite surprised when I heard they were so valuable.

[@jclikespam7791]

I didn't expect the top grades to be so low and few. So I didn't expect the value to be that high. I definitely need to check mine!

[@jakeh4522]

I never would expect a 1981 cent to be that valuable and those errors are very cool.

[@craigalexander3650]

[@mr.coinsack826]

😆 I think my daughter just renamed the 3rd strike penny "pregnant penny" I only heard of the 1981 business strike error pennies I didn't know the higher grades were worth so much! That's some great info I'm sure ya might just change that info because many Will be on the hunt! Thanks J&B!

[@semitary]

I dont know. But I have some 81s to look at when I get home. It always surprises me how valuable some of these coins are especially the modern ones. But I have noticed that in some years, really hard to find a real nice ones. Actually I think I have a couple nice ones but will have to look at under my new AmScope I bought thru the JB Coin Website. Thanks you two. Love ya.

[@charlesadkins7067]

great video ill have to look for these

[@lauralala3408]

We hadn't really thought about them being a worthwhile search. But we didn't know how much they could be worth until now.

[@mherlieramos4925]

Hi good evening to you all, I have a 2COIN Of ONE CENT 1981D Lincoln Cent. Thanks To Your Sharing This Video, Very Respectfully Yours. GOD BLESSED AND MORE MORE BLESSINGS TO YOU ALL, From. Philippines

[@scott27288]

I shudder to think how many 1981's have passed through my hands since I began coin collecting and I never knew how valuable they could be. As always, I love seeing the error coins. Thanks for sharing. See ya in the next one.

[@marleyteee9617]

The triple struck coin is crazy, I’d like to know how they were able to grade it a 64?? Thanks for the info; I was definitely surprised @ how valuable the business strike ‘81 could be! Wow!

[@jrog834]

Wow I had no idea they were that valuable! Thanks

[@RonaldCorley-zl1md]

I Had No Idea That A 1981 Philadelphia Penny and A 1981 Denver Penny Where So Valuable I Always Had A Strong Feelings About The 1980 Penny. The 1982 Denver Copper Penny is Where All The Attention is.

[@jeffsingleton88]

I have 7 rolls in plastic orginal bank rolls that are all 1981 and emaculate. Youre making me very exicted. They look as good as the examples in this video.

[@ShellyMay28]

I'll have to recheck my 81s.

[@wewillservive4039]

I have one & the year is off a little on the (8) it's a 1981 D & it's in shiny condition, okay maybe not new new shiny but it's some what shiny. It looks pretty good to me 😀
