Value of the Coin
An ordinary 1985-D penny found in circulation is worth only its face value (one cent). Even coins with the "missing L" phenomenon generally sell for only a few dollars on online marketplaces, if at all, as they are being sold as novelties rather than officially recognized valuable errors.
What Makes a 1985-D Penny Valuable?
While the "missing L" is not the key, a 1985-D penny can be valuable if it has certain characteristics:
High Grade: A standard 1985-D cent in exceptional, uncirculated condition (especially graded MS68 or higher, with a full red designation) can be valuable to serious collectors.
Genuine, Rare Errors: Coins with major, verifiable mint errors, such as significant off-center strikes or genuine Double Die Obverse (DDO) errors, can command higher prices. These are rare and need professional authentication.
If you believe you have a coin with a genuine, significant error beyond simple die wear, it is recommended to have it authenticated and appraised
