The claim that 1999 pennies are worth $4,500 typically refers to rare mint error coins rather than standard pennies. A notable example is the 1999 Wide AM Lincoln cent, where the letters "A" and "M" in "AMERICA" on the reverse are farther apart than usual. Such error coins are rare and sought after by collectors, potentially fetching high prices at auction, but standard 1999 pennies hold their face value.
