More than ONE BILLION 1981 nickels were issued for circulation. None plated with copper by the Mint. It's a novelty coin of some kind that has no numismatic collectible value. It's just a nickel.
Anything minted in the 1970s is made of copper-nickel, not silver, and is only worth face value.
$1 unless in proof condition. They are in common circulation, made out of copper-nickel and were minted in huge quantities.
The copper plating was not done by the U.S. Mint so the coin is just face value. NOTE: No U.S. Mint plates any coins with copper, gold or silver.
Gold-plated but not gold. It's an ordinary nickel that someone plated for use in jewelry or as a novelty piece. The US never minted nickels (or dimes or quarters for that matter) out of gold - it's worth far too much to use in small-denomination coins.
A 2004 nickel is worth 5 cents. A gold-plated '04 nickel is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. There is no standard market value for modified coins like that.
1979 was the first year of the Susan B. Anthony dollar. Hundreds of millions were minted, and it's worth exactly one dollar.
The only nickels with silver in them were minted during WW2. All others are made of 75% copper and 25% nickel. A 1957 U.S. nickel is worth less than a dime in circulated condition.
Depends.If its aluminum,Its worth 50 cents a pound.If its nickel plated brass,It's worth about a $1.80 a pound.If its nickel plated iron or Steel plate,It's worth 9cents a pound.
More than likely, this is a standard cent that is not copper-plated. Since 1984 all US cents have been made of copper-plated zinc. Missing the outer copper coating, your coin is worth a couple of dollars.
Trade dollars were US coins made in silver to trade in the far East. However, your coin, if it is an 1884 Trade Dollar, it is counterfeit. There were only 10 examples minted that year, all of them are known. So, when it comes to value, the only value your coin can have is if it is minted in real silver, if it is minted in real silver, it is worth however much silver is in your coin. If it is silver plated lead, or silver plated copper, or non-silver alloy like "nickel silver" your coin is essentially worthless.
Those minted before 1965 are 90% silver and currently worth just under $5. Anything 1965-present is copper/nickel and worth face value only.
No. Any cent plated with nickel was altered outside of the mint. That makes it a damaged coin worth 1 cent only.
