What is the value of a 1960 US dime?

1960 is not a rare date for Roosevelt dimes. Circulated, its value is determined by the fact that it's made of 90% silver. The price of silver changes a lot, so the best way to determine its melt value is to take the current price of silver and multiply it by 0.072.


How much is 1929 one cent penny worth?

I am not sure, but I suggest taking it to a professional to get it appraised, since they will know the best price for it. Just saying its a 1929 penny doesn't help a whole lot, because the value of it will also vary based on how good of shape it's in. So yes, go take it to a professional if you want to know the price.


How can you tell if your penny is made out of copper?

Get it to rust: Green rust: copper, red rust: iron, no rust: silver.Not exactlyUS cents don't rust (except for 1943 ones). "Copper" pennies are made of bronze which oxidizes to the familiar dark brown color. And US cents have NEVER been made from iron or silver. Plus letting a coin oxidize is a sure way to destroy any collector value it may have. The best way to tell is by the penny's date and/or weight.Cents up to 1857 were pure copperCents from 1858 to mid-1864 were made of copper-nickelCents from mid-1864 to mid-1982 (except for 1943) were made of bronze.Cents made in 1943 were struck in zinc-plated steel due to wartime shortages.Cents made since mid-1982 are zinc with a thin copper coating.

Which English penny from 1971 is best bronze or silver?

The 1971 British 1 New Penny was made from bronze and features Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse and a crowned portcullis on the reverse. Unless it is in mint condition, it is worth 1 Penny. If you have a "silver" 1 Penny that matches the description above, you have a 1 New Penny coin valued at 1 Penny. If you have a "silver" 1 Penny that does not match the description above, you very possibly have a sterling silver Maundy 1 Penny coin valued at up to £25 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
