Because the price of copper is more than a penny is worth. Small 1-cent coins (1856-present) have never been made of pure copper. Their highest ever copper content was 95% copper, mixed with tin and/or zinc. The only US cents ever made from pure copper were Large Cents made up to 1857.
no there was never a copper quarter
The only "pure copper" pennies that the U.S. ever made were the large cents from 1793 to 1857. If you're asking about Lincoln cents, pre-1982 coins are mostly copper and MILLIONS are still in circulation at face value.
The highest price ever paid for a 1 cent coin is 1.7 Million dollars in June of 2010 for the only known example of a copper 1943-D Lincoln cent.
Look at the coin again and post a new question. No US dollar coins are dated 1950. Also no circulating US coin was ever made of pure silver, all were 90% silver and 10% copper.
Not silver. The only nickels that ever contained silver were the famous "war nickels" minted during WWII when nickel was a strategic metal. All other nickels are made of an alloy of 75% copper and 25% nickel. Bottom line - you have an ordinary nickel worth 5 cents.
