Reply:To find out how much your penny US worth, we must first determine the type. The United States made two main types of cents, the penny big and small cent. The General cents are dated 1857 and earlier and much bigger and heavier than our current type of Penny, the small cent. If you have large cents in your collection that you need information or values, I recommend that find a honest money dealer to help you evaluate, as large cents have many different varieties for most dates and shouldn't be priced using a guide online price, if you want maximum money for them. If the penny is Small Cent, will be about the same size of those that we use today, although it might be a bit small heavy. To find the type of Penny, can look here: If the penny is small or dated 1857 1858, is one hundredth of Eagle Flying. If it was sold to a dealer of currency, a hundredth of Eagle Flying in conditions rather worn is worth about $ 15 to $ 25. (Note: all of my prices are realistic amounts of money that will pay you a reseller. Not the values of retail or "catalog" as found virtually anywhere. Most people in search of currency prices they want to know what they can sell their currencies to today.)
If your 100th Eagle Flying is dated 1856, you must take to a dealer to obtain an evaluation. This penny is very rare, with a mintage of only 2000 copies and fakes and alterations to this date are much more common 1856 genuine. 1856 Flying Eagle Cents is considered to be a currency pattern (rather than a problem of circulation) by many experts.
Indian Head cents are dated from 1859 through 1909 and have a representation of Lady Liberty wearing a headdress of Indian-style game, hence the misnomer of "Indian Head" Penny. In General, all Indian head cents worth at least $ 1 each, even under very worn, as long as they are not seriously damaged. For a full price chart Indian Head Pennies, see: cents wheat are dated from 1909 to 1958 and have a portrait of Lincoln, on the one hand, and a design similar to Crown wheat heads from another. Sometimes called "Lincoln Cents" (without mentioning the memory as described below), they are almost pure copper (95%), except for one year, penny 1943, which is made of galvanized steel. All wheat cents worth the nominal value of at least 3 times, but of course many are substantially more, especially the date key Wheat cents. Lincoln Memorial Penny are dated 1959 acquainted and have a portrait of Lincoln on one side with the Lincoln Memorial building to another. Were made of 95% copper until 1982. In 1982 the composition was changed to 97.5% zinc, with a thin copper plating, so that you have dated 1982 pennies made of both types of metals. From 1983 until now, all United States cents are made mainly of zinc. Most Lincoln Memorial Penny are only worth of nominal value, unless they have ortlessly copper of Mint. In 2009, the US Mint will issue a special commemorative series of 4 cents to celebrate the centenary of designing Lincoln Cent. At this time, Lincoln Cents should enjoy a surge of popularity, which hopefully means higher values for these Penny incredibly popular.
