i believe they stopped making copper pennies in 42 because they needed all copper for the war (bullets). so all pennies were made of steele. im not sure of the worth but they are extremely RARE. i would get a book of coins from library to get an idea of worth because alot will depend on condition.

In circulated condition, it's worth about 3 cents. A nice uncirculated one is worth about 50 cents.
Basically it is worth about 3 cents, sorry. Check out the source.

It wasn't until 1943 they stopped making copper pennies, its probably worth a penny.

No the one cent that its worth more than its face value are those from the 1920's it depends who made them. They should have a letter on the face side of the coin, that means who made it and depending on that depends its value

Well, i've got one from 1861 and i'm not lucky enough to have anything of value - so i'm gonna guess 50p.
