What are zinc cents worth?

Since 1982, all US cents have been made of 97.5% zinc, with a thin coating of copper - these are worth 1 cent in circulated condition (with the exception of a few "error" coins), and a few cents to a couple of dollars in uncirculated or proof. If you are referring to the zinc-coated steel cents produced in 1943, they are worth about 5 to 50 cents in circulated condition, and perhaps a couple of dollars in uncirculated condition (with "D" and "S" mintmarks tending to be a bit more valuable). Be careful of so-called "remanufactured" coins, which have had a new layer of zinc added to make the cent look like new.
