Not especially, except for the extremely rare 1943 copper cent, or even more rare 1944 steel cent (both of which were error coins).
Only high grade mint state coins have more than face value.
Quarters minted before 1965 contain 90% silver, which is 5.625 grams.
Pennies minted before 1965 are primarily composed of 95% copper and 5% zinc, giving them intrinsic metal value that exceeds their face value of one cent. As of 2023, the copper content alone makes these pennies worth more than their nominal value, often ranging from 2 to 3 cents each based on current copper prices. Additionally, certain older pennies, particularly those from the 1909-S V.D.B. and 1914-D, can be highly collectible and worth significantly more to numismatists. Always check current metal prices and market demand for specific values.
Is not a valuable pre 1965 silver quarter. It's worth keeping though as it has a melt value of a around $5.
Yes, 90% silver and 10% copper up to 1964. 1965 to date 75% copper and 25% nickel.
1965 penny is made of predominantly copper. worth 2-3 cents pennies before 1982 are valuable for there metal, but it is illegal to melt down US currency. So theoretically it's worth more. but you'll have a hard time selling it
Yes. You can tell the difference between a pointed and blunt five because the top of the number is kind of blunt or pointed (if that's not confusing enough :) ). 1965 blunt pennies are worth considerably less than pointed pennies (17 cents in uncirculated condition).
Pennies (or one cent coins) were not made of steel in 1965 in the United States (nor in Canada, Great Britain, Australia or New Zealand).
It's difficult to determine the exact number of 1965 pennies still in existence today, as many have been lost, damaged, or melted down over the years. The U.S. Mint produced over 1.5 billion 1965 pennies, but the current population is uncertain due to factors like coin collecting and circulation. However, millions are likely still in circulation or in private collections.

Only high grade mint state coins have more than face value.
Yes and no. Yes, they are technically worth about 2.2 cents in copper value (pre-1982 pennies are 95% copper, post-1982 pennies are mostly zinc and are worth about half a cent in zinc scrap) but they are illegal to melt down and as such you will have a hard time finding someone to buy them. 1965 pennies are not rare by any stretch and as such you should just spend it like any other penny. Unless the penny has an error (or you have a /lot/ of copper cents to sell to someone, or if the penny is in mint packaging) if it has a memorial on the back of the coin, simply spend it.
