What is the value of a 1980 S Lincoln penny?
1980-S pennies were only issued in proof sets. At a minimum, they are worth about 75 cents. The highest grade proof condition pennies are worth $4.00 and up.
What is the value of a 1980 u.s. penny?
One cent, although I understand that the "melt value" of the metal it is composed of (95% copper and 5% tin and zinc) is closer to 1.5 cents (it is, by the way, illegal to melt down US coins for their metal value). In Proof condition, a 1980-S penny (minted in San Francisco) would be worth about $2.25.
How much copper is in a 1981 penny and is it the same as a 1980 or 1979 penny?
All Lincoln cents minted between 1909 and 1981 (except for 1943) have the same copper content: 95% copper with 5% zinc. The metal ratio was changed in 1982.
Is a 2009 Lincoln penny with no mint mark rare?
No. Remember, cents struck at Philadelphia don't carry a mint mark even though all other denominations have had a P mint mark since 1980.
What is the value of a 1980 US cent?
The coin has face value only.
