However, I don't see this particular penny as most of the color has come away and revealed a silver color. Tried a magnet and it didn't stick to it. What is it made of? Is it worth anything? I'm new here. Hopefully these pictures show up. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15386 Posts	Posted 12/27/2023 06:22 am to the CCF You have a common date cent that has been encased in a bezel for use as jewelry. There is no numismatic premium for the item - might be worth about $1 to someone who wants to place it on a charm bracelet.
