On the obverse (heads side), there is a portrait of HM Queen Victoria, facing left, with small olive branches in her hair. There is a dotted circle around the queen's head with the words VICTORIA DEI GRATIA REGINA (translation: Victoria, by the grace of God queen) outside the circle. Under the Queen's neck there is the word Canada. On the reverse (tails side), there is the words ONE CENT 1858. Around the words there is a dotted circle with "beaded" maple leaves and stems.
Sorry no US Liberty Head large cents dated 1858 were struck Please look at the coin again with a date of 1858 it can only be a Flying Eagle cent
Look at the coins again. No Flying Eagle cents are dated 1886 or 1909. They were only struck from 1856 to 1858.
The same as all the other pennies from 2000 to date just the year is different. Just like this one http://static.flickr.com/30/40192369_7f6c57b1ef_o.jpg
Copper is a brown solid. Take a look at an American or Canadian penny. In nature, copper is usually found as an oxide that is bluish green. The Statue of Liberty is copper and has oxidized to this bluish green color.
It looks exactly the same as the 2010 or 2012 penny.
The US coin looks very much like a modern US penny
It is silver

All cents since 1858 have been the same diameter, 19 mm. You probably have a novelty item made to look like a penny - they range from a couple of mm in diameter up to the size of a saucer.
All British Pennies from 1982 to 2008 look pretty much the same as the Penny shown at the link below.
It looks exactly like the US cent.
It was made in 1858, so it would've probably been made out of wood.
