AboutMyCoinCopper and Bronze Cents
Copper and bronze cents contain no precious metal, so one is worth its face value unless the date, the mint mark or a striking error says otherwise. Cents are worth one cent unless the date, mint mark or a known variety says otherwise, and that is true of the overwhelming majority of them.
Face value. $0.01 in the United States; the smallest circulating unit in most decimal currencies.
Copper and bronze cents were struck 1909–1958, all of them United States issues.
Metal content is not the variable for a copper and bronze cent. The date, the mint mark and what the coin was struck wrong with are what decide whether it beats the cent stamped on it.
