For metal content, or melt value, copper pennies (pre-1982) are worth about 2 cents each. As far as collector value, that depends more on specific dates, mint marks, and condition.
zinc. It's a lot less valuable than copper.
any copper penny is worth more than its face value.
i know they were made from 1909-1959, and contain a valuable 95% copper. some people melt pennies and turn them into ''copper nuggets'' because the metal used for a coin is worth more than 1 cent
