Since a penny blank won't fit into the machine when it's stamping dimes, it is virtually impossible to strike a dime on a penny blank. You would need to have your coin professionally examined and certified before you could even consider putting a value on it. Try checking out the ANACS Show page to see if they will be attending any coin shows in your area, where you can take your coin and have it examined for free : http://www.anacs.com/Default.aspx?Page=4
Well it depends. There is a 1970 penny that can either be worth 60 bucks or just 35 cents. just to the difference of the size of the seven in the date. Also if they have mistakes only then they would worth something. But besides that, a penny frankly is just worth a penny.
The U.S. never minted a silver penny. It would have more than a dime's worth of silver in it. Your coin has been plated.
the oldest penny is in the cavemen days and it is worth over 1,000,000 dollars if you find one if i were you i would sell it to a pawn shop that is rich...
The value of a quarter with one side stamped heads and the other side blank would be 25 cents in terms of its monetary value in the United States. The design on the coin does not affect its face value or purchasing power. This type of coin may have been altered or misprinted, but as long as it is recognized as legal tender, it can be used for transactions at its full 25-cent value.
it depends on where it came from, and how old it is.
Such a coin would have to be seen to determine its value. I suggest you take it to a coin shop and ask them to look at it for you.
An unprinted penny has no monetary value as it has not been issued by the government or minted with any denomination. It would just be considered a blank piece of metal.
This type of minting error is called 'Off Center'. the coins with nearly all the impression missing are worth more, but those with those with date and mint mark are worth the most. Average worth of a wheat penny with off center error is $3.50.
A lot more than you may think. In the British revolution, Tom Johnson (a notable smith of the time) created a long series of pennies, which he stamped with the signature "TATES." These are highly sought after by historians and sell out in auctions. I would put the price at roughly $249-350. Of course this depends on the quality, and whether it is a fake or not.
What would the worth of a 1901 penny be?
About the value of a coupon, about 1/32 of a penny. Money is worthless unless printed or stamped to coinage. I have a blank piece of paper. It's worth whatever is printed on it. If the government prints 5 one dollar bills with it, it is worth 5 bucks. If I draw a picture on it, and it's considered art work, it could be worth millions. If I make a paper airplane out of it, it's worth the enjoyment I have watch it fly in the air. Some folks '''do''' collect coin blanks or planchets (blanks with a rim). There may be minimal collector's value in your "slug" if it truly is an unstruck coin. If you can see the copper layer in the middle, then it's a modern unstruck dime. If you don't see that, it could still be a silver blank, in which case it would be worth 1⁄10 of the current spot price of silver. These blank planchets normally sell for a dollar or two.
How much would an 1897 indain head penny be worth today in 2012
It is worth a penny.
It's only a penny spend it.
A 1883 Indian Head penny would be worth $3 if worn, $16 if none circulated.
It's worth 2 cents for the copper.
My guess would be that it was plated with gold (or a gold-colored metal) after minting, and that it is thus worth about a penny.
