What is the value of a 1992 silver penny?

Answer 1

There are two possibilities with a '1995D silver penny': 1. Someone has altered the coin after it was minted and if so, it is worth a penny. 2. It could be a misstruck/error coin (a coin struck on a planchet intended for a coin of another denomination or of the wrong metal) if this is the case then it could be worth as much as $250.00 according to condition. Most likely you have one of the relatively common unfinished planchet errors. This happens when part of the long strip that blanks are cut out of does not get completely covered with its thin outer layer of copper. This can happen on one side or both. These generally sell for $5 or less.
It may look like silver or been plated with silver but the US has never made any silver 1 cent coins.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

These coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 1 Penny.

A British 1992 bronze Penny (Elizabeth II)(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £1 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.
