About 3 cents if circulated and about a dollar or so if uncirculated. They are fairly common coins, even if not seen in pocket change very often.

What is the value of a 1940 copper nickel?

Face value only. US nickels were never made of pure copper so your coin is either plated or has changed color due to exposure to heat or chemicals. In either case it's a damaged coin of no interest to a collector.


What is the copper value of copper pennies?

Cents made after mid-1982 are mostly zinc so they have essentially no copper value. Lincoln cents made up to mid-1982 (except of course for 1943 steel cents) are bronze which is 95% copper plus tin and/or zinc. They contain about 3 grams of pure copper which is worth a bit less than 3 cents as of the prices in 2011. However older cents may be worth much more as collectors' items, and in any case it's illegal to melt pennies. This, however, does not stop people from selling them in hopes that the melt ban will be lifted, however, finding a buyer for copper pennies is tough but not impossible.


What is the value of a 1965 pure silver dollar?

There can't be a pure silver 1965 dollar. No silver dollars were minted after 1935, and in any case pure silver is too soft for circulating coins. They all contained at least 10% copper.


What is the value of a 1943 black wheat penny?

A 1943 Copper penny can be worth well over $100,000. They are unbelievably rare and very few passed inspection. In order to tell if it is actual copper, put a magnet to it, if it sticks, it is not copper and worth only $2.00.More, and correctionIt's likely that the coin is black because the zinc coating that protected the underlying steel has oxidized over the last 70 years. In that case your coin has value pretty much only as a memento, maybe 50¢ or so. As for the chance that it's copper, no additional 1943 copper cents have been found in over 2 decades so it's extremely unlikely to be one of those rarities. As the previous poster noted, use the magnet test to verify.

What is a 1944D error steel penny worth?

This error is the "flip side" of the more famous 1943 copper cent. If genuine, such a coin might retail in the $4000 to $5000 range. In any case it would have to be authenticated by at least one major numismatic service.

Why are pennies made with copper shells?

They aren't anymore. "Shell-case" cents were only made in 1944 and 1945 when the government had to dispose of huge numbers of casings that had been used for ammunition in WW2. The shell casings were melted down and alloyed into bronze for use in pennies.Starting in 1946 normal mined copper, tin, and zinc were used. In mid-1982 the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper because copper had become too expensive.

How do you know if a penny is a shell case penny?

Shell case pennies are almost identical to regular pennies but contain less zinc. The only two ways to identify the shell case penny and first is to weight them in reference to a normal penny which will be a little lighter because of the higher zinc content. They will also have a much browner tone not reddish. There is no real difference in value just interesting.


Do the pennies in 1965 have a special copper in them that was used in the bullets in the war?

You're almost certainly thinking of the cents minted from 1944-46 called "shell case" cents. They were struck from ammunition shell casings (not bullets) that were recovered after the shells they contained were fired in combat. And that was WW2, not Vietnam, of course.
