The last wheat cents were struck in 1958.
There is one possibly genuine 1959 wheat cent but no one has been able to prove that it's authentic. After that, the dies were destroyed so a wheat cent 40 years later is essentially impossible.

∙ 14y agoThe U.S. never struck a silver cent. It would be worth more than a dollar! There are 3 possibilities: Most likely it's been plated, in which case it's a damaged coin not worth anything extra. It's also possible it was dipped in acid to remove the copper plating. Again, a damaged coin.
The third possibility is that it's a mint error caused when a zinc blank didn't go through the plating process. This error could be worth $75 to $100 but you'd need to have the coin inspected in person.

How can you tell the difference between a silver penny and a steel penny?
It's easy! Pennies were never made of silver. They would be worth way more than a cent. Steel pennies were made in 1943. So if you have a penny that was minted in 1943 it's not silver but rather steel.
