August 12, 2009 The value of the copper in a 1983 Lincoln Cent is .004455 cents.
Very little. US one cent coins are made of zinc with a thin copper coating.
The weight of a 2007 Cent is 2.5 grams. Of this, 0.8% is copper.
It is still only worth one cent but cannot be used to purchase anything as the 1cent and 2cent coins are no longer legal tender
The price of the copper to make the coin cost more than 1 cent.
One cent, it's not old enough to be worth any more.
one cent i think!
It's still in circulation and only 1 cent.
About 2 cents, due to copper content.
The highest price ever paid for a 1 cent coin is 1.7 Million dollars in June of 2010 for the only known example of a copper 1943-D Lincoln cent.
The coin is 90% silver & 10% copper.
If it's a genuine 1943 copper cent, it's worth tens of thousands of dollars. That said, because the real thing is so valuable, fakes are extremely common. Test it with a magnet before you get too excited. Copper won't react, but a copper-coated steel cent will stick.
