What is value on a 2001D Lincoln penny with no copper coating?

You can tell if a penny is made out of zinc or copper by the date on the penny. If the date is before 1982 then the penny is 95% copper. Pennies dated 1983 or later are 97.5% zinc with a thin copper coating.

Pennies are made of zinc and other alloys with a copper coating, pennies made before 1964(or around this year) they were made of just copper. What you see on a penny is not rust but corrosion of the copper coating.

All pennies since 1983 are made almost entirely of zinc, covered with a thin coating of copper. Therefore, what you have is either a zinc penny that did not get its copper coating (worth abuot a dollar), or a normal penny that has been silver plated (no added value). You should be able to determine this by weight. A normal penny will weigh 2.5 grams. So if yours weighs less, then it's missing its copper…

Traditionally, the US penny (or, more properly, the US one cent coin) has been made of copper or copper with a small amount of zinc (except in 1943, when it was made of steel with a zinc coating). During 1982, as the price of copper meant that the "melt value" of the coin was more than one cent (that is, it had more than one cent's worth of copper), the decision was taken to produce…

Midway through 1982, the composition of the US penny changed from 95% copper and 5% zinc to 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper (in the form of a coating of pure copper over a core of zinc).

If you refer to the British 1 Penny and 2 Pence coins, they are currently made from copper-plated steel.

If it is a US cent, it is zinc with a very thin coating of copper.

From 1982 the US Penny is made of a little more than 97% Zinc. The rest is a copper coating.

A Penny is a compound mixture because it is made with Zinc (an element), and giver an outer coating of Copper(an element).

Originally, 95% copper and 5% zinc. US pennies are now made of zinc with a thin copper coating.

A 1983 Lincoln cent is actually copper plated zinc, 1982 was the last year for copper pennies. It's just a penny.

Because plastic is Not Metal and the penny is.

The copper metal oxidizes from exposure to air and moisture, forming a coating of copper carbonate.It an also help crops

The acid in lemon juice helps to dissolve the copper-oxide coating made from the penny's copper and the air's oxygen.

It's worth 2 cents for its copper content.

From 1982 to date Lincoln cents are 97.5% Zinc and 2.5% Copper

Around 3 cents.

because in 1982 there was a war going on and copper was short and they needed copper for their weapons so they stoped using copper for the so called "penny" and used zinc instead but they still used a copper collered coating. :) hope this helped because in 1982 there was a war going on and copper was short and they needed copper for their weapons so they stoped using copper for the so called…

Pre-1982 pennies are made of bronze, which is 95% copper plus 5% tin and/or zinc. Post-1982 pennies are zinc with a thin coating of copper.

Yes. The acid in lemon juice helps to dissolve the copper-oxide coating made from the penny's copper and the air's oxygen.

A new penny is partially made from bright, shiny copper. But after a while, it loses its shine because the copper mixes with the oxygen in the air and makes a coating called an oxide. When you put the penny in lemon juice, the acid in the lemon chemically removes the oxide, and you're left once again with a bright copper penny.

The rarest and most valuable Lincoln cent that isn't an error is the 1909-S with VDB on it. The rarest and most valuable error Lincoln cent is the 1943 copper penny.

The British 1 Penny issued from 1971 to 1992 has a 97% copper content. The British 1 Penny issued from 1992 to present, is made from copper plated steel. The coins are electroplated and the copper coating is minimal at about 25 microns (or 0.025 mm).

The 1943 Lincoln cent is zinc coated steel not nickel and copper.

No not anymore starting in 1982 Lincoln cents are made of 97.5% ZINC and 2.5% copper

The 1943 penny was not made with copper, like all other years. Copper was funneled to the War Department so the 1943 penny was made from steel and other compounds.

It's worth 2 cents for the copper.

U.S. pennies have never been made out of silver. On a 1994-D penny, the silver-colored metal below the copper coating is zinc, NOT silver. It's worth one cent.

The U.S. Mint did not make a nickel penny in 1977. If you have one it may be a regular penny with a coating or plating of some sort on it. Scratch the rim and see if there is copper underneath.

If the penny was made pre-1982, it weighs 3.11 gm and is made of bronze containing 95% copper. That means it contains 0.95 * 3.11 = 2.955 gm of pure copper. If the penny was made post-1982, the penny will weigh 2.5 gm and be made of 97.5% zinc with a coating of copper, so it only contains 0.025 * 2.5 = 0.0625 gm of pure copper.

2005 Lincoln cents are .975 Zinc & .025 Copper

The copper in an older cent (before 1983) is worth almost two cents as scrap metal. Cents are now made of zinc with a very thin copper coating.

Pretty much non-existent. Post-1982 pennies are zinc with a very thin copper coating and contain very little copper of any economic value.

A new penny is partly made from bright, shiny copper. But after a while, it loses its shine. Why? Because the copper mixes with the oxygen in the air and makes a coating called an oxide. When you put the penny in lemon juice, the acid in the lemon chemically removes the oxide, and you're left with a bright copper penny. Pennies can't rust, UNLESS you soak/bathe one in an acid with a PH of…

Today's pennies (since 1983) are made almost entirely of zinc, with a thin outer coating of copper.

It's currently worth about 2 cents for the copper.

It's worth about 2 cents for its copper content.

2 cents, due to copper content.

A genuine copper (bronze actually) 1943 Philadelphia issue Lincoln cent has a minimum value of $60,000.00.

All Lincoln cents minted between 1909 and 1981 (except for 1943) have the same copper content: 95% copper with 5% zinc. The metal ratio was changed in 1982.

More than likely the 1944 matte proof penny. It was stuck in steel instead of copper.

The 1943 US cent was made of steel with a zinc coating to prevent rust and weighed 2.70 grams. The cent of today is composed of 99.2 % zinc and 0.8 copper with a plating of pure copper and weighs 2.5 grams.

A 1963 Lincoln cent has a composition of .950 copper and .050 zinc. This copper alloy was used from 1962 to 1982.

Almost certainly one cent. To explain: First, it's not copper, just copper-plated. All US cents made since mid-1982 are zinc with a coating of copper. Second, cuts or other damage can happen to any coin that's been in circulation, so it's extremely unlikely to be any kind of mint error.

It depends on it's condition, in average circulated about 35 cents.

All 1993 Lincoln cents are 99.2% zinc & .08% copper

To start with a 1990 Lincoln cent is NOT copper, they have been made from ZINC (.992) with a thin copper (.008) plating since 1982. The coin is face value.

From 1982 to date all Lincoln pennies are copper plated zinc, the 1993-D is just a penny.

Not necessarily. While copper always has the same density (apart from thermal expansion) , a copper ball may be hollow. Modern pennies are not made entirely of copper, but rather have a thin copper coating while the rest of the coin is zinc, which is somewhat less dense.

The 1967 Lincoln Cent is composed of 95% copper and 5% zinc.
