July 26, 2009 Technically, the 1985 Lincoln Cent is a zinc penny, not copper. The only copper in them is the plated layer you can see. As far as value is concerned, the 1985 cent is worth just a cent unless it is in a high uncirculated grade and then it is worth about $15. In proof condition these cents are valued from $5 to $30 depending upon the actual condition of the coin.
