What is the value of a 1936 silver penny?

Answer 1

The U.S. never minted a silver penny. For starters, it would be worth more than a dime! Your coin was plated for use in jewelry or something similar. That makes it an altered coin worth face value only.

Answer 2

It's called a Kennedy half and it's not silver. All circulating halves dated 1971 and later are made of copper and nickel. It's only worth 50¢.

ALL U.S. coins have the word Liberty on them. The term "Liberty" coin is reserved for those like old dimes and quarters that actually have the image of Miss Liberty.
