1957 Wheat Cent

The 1957 wheat cent is a classic and a bit more difficult to find your change than the 1957-D. There are almost four times as many Denver versions than the Philadelphia version. That is why I featured that one three times already while this is the first time seeing this cent posted.


Alas they are still common and hold little value over metal content in low grades.

Here's the stats...
Type/Country: 1 Cent / United States
Year: 1957
Mintage: 282,540,000
Metal: 95% Copper, 5% Tin and Zinc
Value: $0.05 in F-12

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.

    Yes old copper gets thin over time, no extra value.

    The other 1957 cent is about $0.05 in circulated grade.
