All British predecimal Pennies from 1860 to 1967 were made from bronze.
The percenatge of the metals in the alloy changed a little over the years, but from 1945 to 1967 they were 95.5% copper, 3% tin and 1.5% zinc.
About 10$.
The penny could be worth anywhere from $10 to $900. It greatly depends on the condition of the coin.
One cent (Canadian or US since the exchange rates are so similar). 1975 is a common date and only worth a penny regardless of the shape it is in. The hole was created after the coin left the mint and so the coin is damaged and worthless to a collector.
no a penny is copper... Actually not since 1982.... In the middle of that year the rising price of copper forced the Mint to change the coin's composition to zinc with a thin copper plating. The copper plating is only 2.5% of the coin's composition.
The U.S. penny, which is officially called the one-cent coin, is made primarily of copper. It has a composition of 97.5% zinc and 2.5% copper.
The 1919 Canadian Penny is worth $50 bucks, being rare.
Unless it's a proof coin in its original package, it's an ordinary circulation coin worth 1 cent.
1c unless its a mint error. If you think the coin is an error, check with your local coin dealer
No such thing as an 1817 Canadian penny. Canada wasn't formed until 1867, prior to that, coins had the name of the province on them. The earliest I can find in my coin catalogue dates to 1861 from Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. A 1917 penny, in good condition is worth from .20 to $125 for a pristine, certified quality coin.
Here's the problem: the first penny wasn't minted for Canada until 1815. I expect this is a typo or you have another nation's coin...
it is worth I cent to the banks, so spend it and buy a coin book!
Check that coin again. Canada didn't half a halfpenny in 1949.
