A former U.S copper coin worth one dollar
Betsy Ross isn't on any US coin. If it's dated 2000, and golden in color, then it's a Sacagawea dollar coin, worth one dollar.
Gold was then, as it is now; valuable. You could buy more with a gold coin than you could with a copper coin.
The first Australian 50c coin was silver and dated 1966. The next one was dated 1969 and it and all regular circulation issues since then have been copper-nickel. You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
The penny. Anything dated later than 1982 is copper-plated zinc.
It's just a presidential dollar coin value is $1.00
US Pennies were made of 95% copper (with the exception of the 1943 steel cent) from 1864-1982. Midway through 1982, the cent switched to copper plated zinc. So any penny dated 1983-present is just copper plated zinc. However a coin dated 1982 could either be 95% copper or copper plated zinc. A copper coin should weigh about 3.11 grams while the zinc pennies are lighter at about 2.5 grams.
Some dealers may give u info if u show them a pic
Then it isn't a genuine US coin. All steel cents were dated 1943, and while there were some steel cents struck in 1944, all of them would look steel because the copper cents weren't plated with anything so they would be a steel cent dated 1944 not a copper-looking cent dated 1944.
1971 dated halves are still in circulation today. The coin is made of copper-nickel, not silver, and is only worth face value.
This is an advertising token -- AKA a Flipping Coin. It is not from 1782 -- that's not the date, but rather part of the phone number to the restaurant ('Delaware 7-1782'). I would estimate its age at about 50 years. It's from a Chicago restaurant, located at 420 N. Dearborn St. -- don't know if it still exists but probably not. It's known as a flipping coin because of the head of a pig on one side and the rear end of a pig on the other side. It's value is about $5.00
The last silver quarters were dated 1964. Your coin is made of copper-nickel and is worth 25 cents.
The percentage of any metal in a coin would depend entirely on the coin and the country it came from. An Australian 1962 "copper" coin (bronze) contains 97% copper. An Australian 1962 "silver" coin (cupro-nickel) contains 40% copper. A British 1962 "copper" coin (bronze) contains 97% copper. A British 1962 "silver" coin (cupro-nickel) contains 75% copper. An American 1962 "copper" (bronze) 1¢ coin contains 95% copper An American 1962 "nickel" 5¢ coin is actually 75% copper An American 1962 silver coin is 10% copper, with the rest silver.
The mass of a copper coin can vary depending on the size and denomination of the coin. On average, a copper coin like a US penny weighs about 2.5 grams.
