Hmmm ... in 1849 a coin dated 1849 would be new, wouldn't it? Assuming you're referring to U.S. coins: > Half cents and cents were copper > Half dimes, dimes, quarters, half dollars, and large dollars were made of silver with a small amount of copper. > Small dollars, $2.50, $5, $10, and $20 coins were made of gold and a small amount of copper.
