If a penny is silver in color, it is probably made out of steel coated zinc. They were issued during the year 1943 in WWII due to the shortage of copper. If the dealer says it's metal composition is silver, it's probably fake and only worth it's silver content. But if it's a steel coated zinc penny, it will be worth about $0.50 in Good condition, about $1.50 in Fine condition, about $25 in MS-55, and $50 in MS-65 condition. But don't be so sure about all the amounts, as I'm a novice collector.

That indicates that they were made at the Denver Mint. If you live near Denver ("near" being a very loose term), then it's no big deal. However, if you live close to Philadelphia or somewhere in the northeast, then while it is much harder to find one of those types of pennies it's still a penny.

If it's dated 1968 or later with an S, then it's a proof cent, minted for collectors and sold for a bit over face value, though nothing that recent is especially valuable. For older coins, value is determined by both the date and mint mark, so to get a specific value, you'll need to ask about a specific coin.

Well, it would depend on the year and condition. Be more specific.

I am guessing the coin has no mint mark, so it was minted in phildelphia, yes, in Almost Uncirculated (AU) it can be worth $2 or $3 dollars, in less great condition, probably 25 or 50 cents.

Are wheat pennies from the 1930's worth anything?

If the pennies are brand new (like grandpa got them from a bank and socked them away) you can get several dollars for them depending on date and mintmark. If they are just pennies taken from circulation they typically run at most 2 cents each. One big exception is the 1931 S . Even worn it could be worth over $50. You might also get a dollar or so for a worn 1931 D and 1933 D .


How can I find pennies?

You could spend years looking through bank rolls and never find anything worth more than a buck or two. There simply have been too many people searching those coins, and anything worth anything has already been plucked out. You would have to get lucky and catch some rolls that somebody (like a little old lady) has brought out from some stash and taken to the bank.

That depends. If it is a regular dollar made for circulation it contains no silver and is worth face value. But if it's a collectors silver dollar in witch case it should say something like .999 silver then its worth its weight in silver, value changes with the silver market.
