At least it is copper, well mostly. 51 is the new 41 and this 1962 barely looks it. Sure it may have sat in a puddle and developed some green verdigris damage but that just adds color.
Not as common as the 1962-D this is still an average cent. Those waiting to cash in on metal value saw a slight rise a few years ago but have seen a steady decline ever since. If you have the the option of buying copper cents or any metal coins or buying a plot of land I suggest you go for the land.
Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / United States
Year: 1962
Mintage: 606,045,000
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin, and Possibly Zinc
Value: $0.02 in EF-40
Do you have a cent and want to know its value? Leave a comment/question and I will do my best to find out the price and history for you.
