Recently, a person wrote to me on WhatsApp with an offer to buy 1 cent of 1972 from him. I did not see anything valuable in this coin and refused him, to which he replied that he saw how such coins cost $ 1 million.
Is it true that a 1 cent coin from 1972 can cost $1 million?

I have no doubt a common 1972 Lincoln cent has been listed for $1,000,000.00 somewhere on the internet. In fact, we have a thread dedicated to listings like that on this site.

When I'm in a mood, I string these guys along. I tell them I'll give them $600,000 and mess with them for a while.

I just found a 1969 D, I'll trade him that 1 for the 1972. Since the 69d is older it's got to be worth more :)

Reminds me of the 'bank worker' from a different continent who has $200 million to move, and is curious if you could assist, and get a cut for your efforts.

If the guy had a million dollar coin, he'd be working with an auctioneer, not contacting people randomly over the internet.

The person that contacted you is a scammer.

I can only think of 3 US coins worth $1 million. 1913 V nickel, 1849 $20 gold, and an 1804 $1 silver dollar. I'm sure there are a few others from back then. The only valuable 1972 Lincoln Cent is the double die obverse currently selling for about $300.00.

Now imagine if you had a roll of those. Any coin selling for that would not be just sold anywhere.
