In 1962 the composition of the Lincoln Cent was changed from 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc to 95% copper and 5% zinc. This new alloy was in use when the 1964 pennies were minted.
The 1964 Lincoln penny is unfortuantely worth 1 penny. This was not a key date amongst pennies. Most valuable pennies were wheat and Indian head cents dating from 1859-1958
They're worth one cent.Specific pennies from 1964 or earlier could be worth considerably more to a collector, but you'd really need to take them to one to get an estimate. The value depends on the details and the condition of the coin.
The U.S. has never struck a silver one cent coin. The coin has been plated and has no collectible value. The above is wrong. 1960 some pennies were accidentally stamped on dime casts. Also again in 1964. Also in 1964 there were 12 pennies made out of aluminum.

A mixture of water, vinegar, and bleach is corrosive to most metals. If pennies are placed in it, the copper will oxidize. Rusting is a term only applying to the oxidization of iron, not other metals. The pennies will look a lot cleaner and the liquid will turn blue. If you leave the pennies in the mixture too long, holes may start to form in them.

Metals are electrical conductors because they have free moving electrons.
This is because vinegar is an acid and acids react with metals and a gass will be produced. so- VINEGAR +PENNIES (COPPER) = GAS
The metals that compose a penny, zinc and copper, aren't magnetic.
