Unbelievably and impossibly rare because the first wheat cents weren't made until 1909.
On the other hand, if you have a 1902 Indian Head cent, it's a relatively common coin worth $1 to $4 in circulated condition, depending on the amount of wear.
The nickel was never made with silver, it is made with nickel, hence the name.
A 1943 penny could be a "steel penny" as they were made of steel due to copper being needed for other wartime purposes. Nickels were made of 35% silver during WWII. If a 1943 penny and nickel were mixed, it would potentially be an error as they wouldn't have been in circulation together due to their different compositions.
No, the 1959 nickel is not made of silver. Nickels minted in 1959 and thereafter are composed of a copper-nickel alloy (75% copper and 25% nickel). Silver was phased out of the composition in 1946.
No, no silver in it.
Nickel silver is an alloy of copper, nickel and zinc, and it was used to make 'silver' coins that were previously made in silver or 50% silver. British coins were silver up to 1921 and 50% silver until 1946, and then they were made of nickel silver. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver.
The 12 sided British Threepence issued from 1937 to 1967 inclusive was made from a nickel-brass alloy. The small silver British Threepence issued from 1920 to 1945 inclusive were made from an alloy of 50% silver, nickel and copper. Although the silver coins were circulated in Britain, they were intended for use in several of the British Colonies.
It isn't silver. Nickel "silver" refers to an alloy of copper with nickel and zinc to make it look like silver but it really contains no silver at all.
Yes, it is made out of 90% silver.
No it is made from an alloy of copper and nickel.
From mid-1942 to 1945, (World War II) composition nickels were created. These coins are 56% copper, 35% silver and 9% manganese. There are no reports of cupronickel 1943 nickels analogous to the famous 1943 bronze cent errors. If your coin is deep gray in color it's likely to be a very oxidized silver-alloy nickel and not cupronickel. If you're not able to determine that, the coin should be inspected by an expert dealer or appraiser.
The 1943 Lincoln cent was made of steel, not the nickel. Do a Google search to find the picture you want.
Mintage of the 1943-P Jefferson nickel is 271,165,000.
