It depends on what the date is. Remember, unlike other coins minted in Philadelphia since 1980, ALL cents minted there since pennies were first made in 1793 don't have mint marks. If you're in the western US most cents there come from the Denver mint and have a small D, but from the Mississippi eastward the majority are from Philadelphia and have no mint marks.
The one cent piece, or penny, weighs about 3 grams. Pennies made between 1944 and 1982 weigh 3.11 grams while pennies made afterwards weigh 2.8 grams.
Presuming that you are asking about US Lincoln pennies, the answer is that it depends. If the pennies are pre-1982, they are 95% copper and 5% zinc and weigh 147 to the pound. If the pennies are post-1982, they are 2.5% copper and 97.5% zinc and weigh 181 to the pound. In 1982, both types were made. In 1943, pennies were made from steel coated with zinc (so-called "silver pennies" or "steel pennies") and in 1944 (and I think 1945 as well) from old brass shell casings, so their counts would be a bit different.
