TikTok’s Coin Expert Reveals $19,000 Penny with “NH” Error

This coin collector recently revealed a rare penny worth $19,000 because of a “NH” typo. The user’s TikTok channel explains uncommon coins and what to look for in spare change.

The video’s penny came from a Heritage Auctions snapshot and was minted on a 2000 New Hampshire quarter planchet with the year etched on the front. An imprint of a 2000 cent on the coin makes it fascinating. The coin’s reverse has a mountain, “New Hampshire” above “United States of America,” and “one cent.” The lower part of the coin has stars and the year and “E Pluribus Unum” twice.

Despite its normal look, the penny sticks out owing to its “NH” stamp on the back. Since the U.S. Mint tightened its production processes in 2002, such coins were rarer after 2000, according to the collector.

Insights from TikTok’s Numismatic Community

Rarity frequently increases a coin’s worth, according to the TikTok currency expert. The user speculated that when supply decreases, demand for these rare coins might increase their value.

Rare coin collectors are using TikTok to chronicle and share their finds. Collectors should look for replenishment markings, eyelid mistakes, and slight doubled die variants in coins besides the $19,000 “NH” faulty cent. The tale shows how coin collecting is booming and how internet communities like TikTok may help numismatics find hidden jewels in their coin jars.
