There is no such thing as a silver 1990 penny, as U.S. pennies were made of 95% copper and 5% zinc from 1982 until the present, and prior to that, they were made of 95% copper and 5% tin and zinc. The last year U.S. pennies were made of silver was 1981, and those were only produced in very limited quantities for collectors. Therefore, a 1990 penny is not considered rare, nor is it made of silver.

Silver penny from 1943 that sticks to a magnet?

A silver penny from 1943 that sticks to a magnet is likely rare and could be a potential error coin. During this time, U.S. pennies were typically made of zinc-coated steel due to the priority of copper for the war effort. If your coin is indeed made of silver and sticks to a magnet, it may have been altered or could be a counterfeit. We recommend consulting with a coin expert or a professional to assess its authenticity and value.


What is the value of 1970 penny which is silver in color?

A 1970 penny that is silver in color may be a misidentified coin, as U.S. pennies struck from 1959 to 1982 are made primarily of copper, while those minted after 1982 are primarily zinc with a copper plating. If the penny appears silver, it might be due to wear, environmental factors, or a possible coating. The value of a standard 1970 penny is typically just one cent unless it is in uncirculated condition or part of a rare variety. Always consult a coin expert or appraiser for accurate valuation.

How rare is a silver 2007 penny?

It would be beyond rare because there are no real silver cents. You almost certainly have a plated coin that's worth only a penny. There's a faint possibility that it's a genuine cent that never had its copper coating applied at the mint. That's actually an error coin and can be worth $50-$100. The only way to tell would be to have it examined in person by a knowledgeable dealer or appraiser. But that was to get your hopes up, it's worthless, give it to me.
