face value
Copper pennies minted before 1982 weigh 3.11 grams.
All 1942 pennies are copper (it is the 1943 that is steel). It is a common date worth about 3 cents in average circulated condition and up to a few bucks if uncirculated.
Very, very little. All pennies made since 1982 (some 1982 coins are made out of a 95% copper bronze alloy, others are copper-plated zinc) are copper plated zinc and only contain a very small amount of copper. Since this isn't an alloy and it wears off during use, it really isn't possible to calculate just how much copper is in there, but suffice to say it isn't much at all.
Just a little more than $0.01... It actually costs the government more than a penny to make a penny, but it's only like a quarter of a cent difference. Any pennies minted before 1982 are solid bronze (95% copper), and are worth more in scrap than newer ones.
If the penny was made pre-1982, it weighs 3.11 gm and is made of bronze containing 95% copper. That means it contains 0.95 * 3.11 = 2.955 gm of pure copper. If the penny was made post-1982, the penny will weigh 2.5 gm and be made of 97.5% zinc with a coating of copper, so it only contains 0.025 * 2.5 = 0.0625 gm of pure copper.
one cent i think!
1963 COPPER penny is worth half a billion dollars.
Itis hard to tell, but a good-quality penny from the 1960's may just be worth. One freaking cent. Get over yourselves. Try selling a penny for more than one cent stupid.
