1957-D Wheat Cent

Featured this coin before but the last time it had die breaks and other odd issues. This one seems very normal and more common.



A decent wheat cent but being post World War II it has little value above metal composition. It is that metal content and age that I notice first when sifting through my change. There is a certain brown that screams this is a wheat cent.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / United States
Year: 1957 D
Mintage: 1,051,342,000
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
Value: $0.05 in F-12

Also found a 2007 Straight Leg 7 Canadian Dime and a 1953 Wheat Cent but both were common repeats so I skipped taking pictures.

Do you have an older 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.

    I found an upside down wheat cent 1957 D. Does being upside down change the coin's value?

    an upside down wheat cent 1957 D. Does being upside down change the coin's value?

    If you mean Medal Alignment than it would be about $100.00 depends on degree of rotation and condition.

    It is known as a rotated reverse error.
