It's not a silver penny. It's a steel penny. In 1943, silver was scarce because of World War II. So was copper, the metal usually used to make pennies. So in 1943, the US Mint chose steel as a cheap, one-time substitute. And yes, it has a D. My grandfather (who was alive when all this happened) told me when he gave me one.
Steel Lincolns are 5 to 10 cents on average.
In average circulated condition about 5 cents. A nice uncirculated coin is $1.00
1¢
One Cent is the value. The US has never made a silver penny. It may look like silver or have been silver plated but it has no collectible value.
The only "silver" penny was minted in 1943 to support the war effort. Yours is probably zinc plated.
It's worth about 10 cents in worn condition and up to $3 in uncirculated condition.
No US one cent coin was EVER struck in silver. It may have been plated or look like silver, but it's not silver. It's just a penny.
U.S. pennies have never been made out of silver. On a 1994-D penny, the silver-colored metal below the copper coating is zinc, NOT silver. It's worth one cent.
No. The US 1961-D penny is 95% Copper and 5% Zinc. Any "silver" cents you have are almost certainly plated. The only exceptions are the famous 1943 steel cents. These have a silvery color in their original condition.
if it is silver it is Worth some money. but if it a penny or nickel it is a common date
No, there is no silver in a 1817 US penny.
Those don't exist. The only "silver" pennies were minted in 1943 to support the war effort.
