The Second World War 1945 Wheat Penny is worth the amount that it sells for based on its condition, mint mark, and if it has any authentic errors. A 1945 Lincoln Wheat penny in circulated condition is worth around 3 to 10 cents, because the high mintage. But if it is uncirculated, it will cost anything from $1 to $5. Depending on PCGS or NGC grading of high-grade specimens at MS65 or higher, going $10 to $50 is commonplace. In addition, doubled die or off-centred strikes add to its worth, some of which command hundreds of dollars amongst collectors.
