Any penny melted-down and sold as scrap metal?

It is illegal to melt U.S. pennies for copper. You can go to the United States Government mint site www.usmint.gov for more information. Every penny made before 1982 is 95% copper, and thus is worth 2.5 times its face value.


What is worth more 1908 pennies 1960 pennies 1990 pennies 2006 pennies 2007 pennies or any penny that is melted down and sold as scrap metal?

1908 pennies Cents from 1908 have a collector value of at least 75¢, probably more. 1960 cents are made of copper but are so common that they aren't worth more than maybe 2 or 3 cents unless they're uncirculated. Cents made from mid-1982 to today are copper-coated zinc and are worth 1 to 1.5 cents as scrap. Besides, it's illegal to melt them. NOTE: This question is a typically a trick question. Consider that the year numbers are actually just numerical values, since there is no part of question that specifically states the numbers are years. In that case, two-thousand and seven (2007) pennies are worth $20.07; more than 1908 pennies which are only worth $19.08. Each penny is only worth a cent.
