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.
