I have a 2009 Lincoln penny that I found in my change. I'm wondering if this coin is rare or has any special value due to its age or the fact that it's from the formative years of the Lincoln penny series.

The 1964 nickel, part of the Kennedy Half Dollar series issued by the US Mint, is not considered a rare coin. Its mintage was high and it was widely circulated, although its usage in daily transactions has decreased in recent years. Collectors might value certain mint-condition or special-edition nickels, but the general 1964 version is common.

I'm curious about coins and their rarity. Specifically, I want to know which dime is the rarest of all. Is it a certain year, mint mark, or condition that makes it so hard to find?
