1982
In 1982 the US mint changed the composition of the penny from mostly copper to zinc which changed the weight form 3.11 grams to 2.5 grams and made the penny cheaper to make.
Wheat cents 1909-1958 are actually Bronze which is mostly copper(95%)with a little Zinc and Tin mixed in except in 1943 when the coins were struck on steel planchets coated with Zinc. From 1959-1982 Lincoln cents were 95% Copper and 5% Zinc
The last year for copper US pennies was 1982.
75 dollars
1 cent
25 cents depending on if it is in mint condition
It depends on the year the penny was made, pre-1982 pennies are worth about $.023 in raw metals because they are 95% copper, post-1982 pennies are worth about $.005 in metal because they are mostly zinc with a thin copper coating. In 1982 the US made both zinc and copper cents the difference can be detected by weight, the copper cents weigh a bit more than the zinc cents.
If the coin is a brilliant uncirculated example it may be worth 25 cents.
It is worth face value unless it has a S under the date.
not much, depending on condition from .01-.05 cents.

The Lincoln, Wheat Ears Reverse penny weighs 3.11 grams. The Lincoln, Memorial Reverse penny (1959 to 1982) weighs 3.11 grams. The Lincoln, Memorial Reverse penny (1982 to present) weighs 2.5 grams. So it would all depend on which year the penny was minted.
