In general, a 1962 penny in circulated condition is worth around its copper value, which is about 2 cents. However, uncirculated pennies from this year can be worth significantly more, especially if they have a desirable mint mark or are part of a mint set.
Here are some approximate values for 1962 pennies in different grades:
* Good (G): $0.02
* Very Good (VG): $0.05
* Fine (F): $0.10
* Very Fine (VF): $0.25
* Extremely Fine (XF): $0.50
* Uncirculated (UNC): $2.00
* Proof: $5.00+
The values above are just a starting point, and actual prices can vary depending on the specific coin and the market at the time of sale. If you have a 1962 penny that you believe may be valuable, it is best to get it appraised by a professional numismatist.
