Glen, It sounds fascinating! It would be best for you to take it to an appraiser experienced in coins. Good luck.

About ten years ago I was given a penny back in change from a local store. The store clerk must have thought it was a dime because it by all accounts was stamped out of nickle and not copper. The coin is dated 1975 and is in very fine condition. I have asked a few coin dealers, over the years, to look at it but all scoffed at the idea of the possibility that a penny could have been stamped out of nickle. A few dealers suggest that this coin may have been plated. I have good reason to believe, by some simple facts that this penny is the real deal, stamped out of nickle and not a fake. Would anyone like to see it? Let me know..... Thanks Glen

Robert, there are many 1919 pennies and different values for each. To get the most accurate appraisal you should take it to a coin expert. Good luck!

i need to know about a 1919 penney, the value.

Your penny was minted in Philadelphia. None of the Philadelpha pennies have mint marks but the only other place they were minted was San Fransico in 1908 and 1909. Cons that have mistakes, like yours are called error coins and the value is dependent on many things. For only one side to have been struck two pennies would have to have entered the machine at the same time. This does happen once in awhile. The best thing to do would be to contact a coin appraiser that is well versed in error coins and see what they had to say about it. Good luck!

I have a 1943, two 1943s, one 1943D, steel pennies. I also have a 1957 copper penny with the word Liberty spelled Libierty. Anybody know anything??

Alayna, We can't give appraisals here. The best thing to do is to take it to a local appraiser. Saying that, I can tell you this. The value of a coin is dependent on many factors including condition and rarity. Steel pennies were made of a combination of steel and zinc to conserve copper. The numbers that were minted were: 1943 (Steel) 685 Million 1943-D (Steel) 218 Million 1943-S (Steel) 192 Million

While you are probably not going to be able to retire from the sale of it, you do have a fascinating but of history. Good luck.

is a 1943 steel penny any value? OR a 1943-D steel penny anything?

Pamela, if you are going to try to sell the coins to a dealer then it is actually better not to clean them. If you wish to clean them for display, or your own purposes then try soaking them in olive oil over night and wiping off the dirt with a soft cloth in the morning

Can you tell me how do I know if my penny is the real thing. How do I clean pennies with out distroying it.

Michelle, many people do collect the steel pennies that were made during WWII. As with any collectible their value is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay at any particular moment. You should take your collectible coins to a local appraiser for valuation. Hope this helps.

Just wanting to know... is the Indian-head penny still produced or was it discintinued? Thanks

Vernon, I have not heard of this particular error but that doesn't mean it isn't something of value. Try checking with a local coin dealer and see what they think about your find.

Naag, you will need to consult a local coin dealer to find the value of a specific coin. It is possible that a coin with a blank side is a minting error, but not likely. Probably someone filed it down or is is just very worn.

I have a penny with one side missing. It is totally blank on one side. Is it of any value?

-- Contributed by: Naag

This will depend on the condition of the penny, but in all likelihood it is worth a penny. Please consult a local collector/appraiser for more information.
