All modern pennies are made out of zinc. If you are thinking of a 1943 steel penny that is a very common coin that is worth at most a dollar. If you have a 1942 steel penny that is a misprint error made by the mint and is very valuable. (be sure to have it certified by multiple sources including NGC) I hope that this helps.

What is the value of a 1909 zinc penny?

A 1909 penny made of zinc is not a genuine U.S. coin. In 1909, the U.S. Mint produced Lincoln pennies in bronze. If you have a 1909 penny that looks like zinc, it may be a counterfeit or altered coin, which holds no significant numismatic value.
