All genuine 1979 cents were struck in bronze. Plating makes it a damaged coin worth only face value. But don't shed any tears - undamaged 1979 pennies found in change are only worth a cent, too.

∙ 14y agoThere's no such coin. You almost certainly have a regular bronze penny that was plated. Among other things, an aluminum cent would weigh about 1/3 as much as a regular penny so its weight difference would be very noticeable.

One cent, although I understand that the "melt value" of the metal it is composed of (95% copper and 5% tin and zinc) is closer to 1.5 cents (it is, by the way, illegal to melt down US coins for their metal value). In Proof condition, a 1980-S penny (minted in San Francisco) would be worth about $2.25.
