About this coin’s value

This coin is composed of bronze (82% copper, 16% zinc, 2% tin) and weighs 3.1 g. It carries no precious-metal melt value, so its worth is numismatic — driven by date, mint mark, grade and demand. For copper-era cents, the metal itself can exceed face value — see the copper penny calculator and our copper penny guide.
