goodmorning
can some one tell me something about a silver penny cause i have 3 and to know the value of them,
They weren't silver; they were mostly lead; copper was a limited commodity then due to World War II. Minted in 1943 only. Google numismatists for approximate value.

Im sure you can do a search on line and look for similar pennies and see what they are valued at
Do a google search hun
Good Luck!
hi yes i found out that the steel not silver are not valued but the only penny that value is the copper penny that i have ,but thanks for your help
Here is what a search shows:
There are a few error coins known from 1943, where the penny was accidently struck in copper. These are extremely rare, but if you think you might have a 1943 copper penny, here's how to find out if your 1943 copper penny is genuine.
I remember they used to copper plate the steel pennies and sell a
magic trick with a strong stick magnet that made it look like you were
balancing one penny on the edge of another while concealing the
magnet with your fingers under the bottom penny .

I believe that 1964 was the last year they minted silver coins for circulation.

A couple of weeks ago, I had read that a 1943 silver penny went for 82,000 dollars at a auction. Ther was something about it that was a rarity that made it sooooo expensive.

Correction...please! After browsing the web I found the story......it was a copper 1943 penny that went for 82,000 dollars. Silver/zinc type pennies only go for about a dime ( ten cents). sorry.
goodmorning st.germain

Morning xthundercat, I can't say, not having seen them. Are they dated with a S..D..P or blank under the year ..... that would be where they were minted. Denver...sacramento or philadelphia. As far as I know the only one in recent history that is worth a lot is the "copper" penny of 1943 having slipped through when they changed the plates that are used when making pennies. I would just save them for the future. The mint is talking about eliminating the penny altogether which would then start making them to be a collectors item. I have thousands of old wheat pennies. I think I'll go back and see if any one of them is a "copper" 1943 penny.
Save the old silver coins....they are worth something. Check the business section of your paper to see how much silver is worth. The date on these coins are what makes these coins valuable and the history of them. I say to save all and any of these coins as they will only appreciate in value.
