I Have a 1976 Silver Penny, Is It Rare or Not?

Posted by junkgurl in Junk Silver Coin FAQ, tags: 1976, penny, rare, silver

Question by dreamqueen9120: I have a 1976 silver penny, is it rare or not?
I have a 1976 silver penny. It looks just like a regular penny, but being silver and a bit thicker then a regular copper one. It has no P or D or even S on it. I've compared it to a normal copper one from 1976 and it's just missing the letter. Any one have any ideas?

Answer by Daniel H
The silver ones were made in the mid-40s, because they used copper for bullets during the war. I would say it is very valuable.
