the first United States penny ever made was in 1793 and worth about $3000 in lower grade up to $67000 in higher grade
Silver has been used in coinage ever since coinage was made. The earliest coins were made out of an alloy of silver and gold. Silver, along with gold, have been used for coins ever since coinage was made in 700 BC or so.
Pennies were made of copper
it depends... some are made of copper, - penny. others are made out of gold or silver hense $$$ coins. Quarters are made out of nickel and copper. hope that helped you some :) this is my first time answering a question on here so... ya.
Please see the many other similar posts on this site for an explanation of how these novelty pieces are made. They do not have any numismatic value, I'm afraid.

1 cent. It's plated. The US has never made a gold penny.
A penny made of pure gold would weigh approximately 0.09 grams.
No Australian Penny has ever been minted in gold, they were made from bronze. If you have a gold Penny, it will be because somebody has gold plated it, perhaps to commemorate or celebrate a significant event for somebody. Modified coins have no collector value.
No
Sorry no US gold half penny of any date never made any
Pennies are made of copper and zinc. there is no gold in them
No. If you think about it for a couple of seconds, would it make sense for the Mint to issue a coin that would contain about $75 worth of gold, and sell it for 1¢ ? Your coin has either been plated for use in jewelry, or exposed to something like heat or a chemical that caused it to discolor. Unfortunately, it's only worth a penny.
Some cents tone to a color that looks like gold but the US has never made a gold one cent coin. It's a penny.
