What is the value of an 1855 US copper 1 cent?

Answer 1

For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. Most coins of this type have seen heavy use and show a lot of wear. In general retail values for low grade coins are $15.00-$25.00, better grade are $30.00-$90.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $100.00-$180.00. Values are a market average and only for coins in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer
