What is the melt value of steel cents?

Nothing. Steel cents contain no silver, gold or platinum, so there is no metal value in them at all — they are worth their face value unless the date, the mint mark or a striking error says otherwise.

Steel cents

What these are worth as coins rather than as metal — the dates, the mint marks and the condition — is steel cents. Every steel denomination is on steel melt values.
