Need info on this 1947 S Penny 0

[Judd Spence]

Not being a coin collector I have no idea what I'm looking at however I do know that there is a 1947 S penny that is highly sought-after. Can anyone please examine this pemny and let me know if it's anything I should pursue? Thank you in advance have a great night.

Highly sought after by whom exactly? A quite common date. And not in top condition.

That background is a bit unnerving.

The coin just looks damaged.

The coin you have is worth $.01, would you care to elaborate on just where you found this bit of information on 1947-S US cents being worth big money and highly sought after.   I have been a cent collector myself for over 40 years and I do not know of anyone that considers the 1947-S cent as highly sought after.   I caution you to be carful with the youtube garbage, those guys would not know highly sought after from junk they are after clicks not the dissemination of good information.

So no info forthcoming on where you found this gem of information about 1947-S cents??

"Esty" has a lot of nonsense values for pocket change. That seems to be the most common place to find such things.

Your 1947-S cent is circulated and damaged. It has no collector value.

Found in the local K-Mart parking lot.  They just keep posting this stuff; don't they?

K-Marts are much, much rarer than 1947-S Cents these days.
