The value of a 1930 penny largely depends on its condition and mint mark. Pennies from 1930 with a Philadelphia (no mint mark) or Denver mint mark are generally worth a few cents above their face value due to their age. However, pennies with the "S" mint mark, indicating they were minted in San Francisco, can be more valuable. Uncirculated 1930-S pennies in good condition can be worth several dollars, while circulated examples typically sell for a few dollars or less. The best way to determine the exact value of a 1930 penny is to have it professionally appraised by a numismatist.
