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?

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.
