∙ 14y agoProbably not much - if the underlying coin was in nice shape, someone might give you a couple of dollars for it as a curiousity. Numismatically, the coin would be worth more without the gold plating, but even so would max out at about US$12 in Uncirculated or Proof condition (according to the Standard Catalog of World Coins).

I think mostly copper.
Yes
A 1941 wheat penny that looks silver may be due to the coin being plated or altered in some way. However, genuine silver-colored pennies were not minted in 1941 by the U.S. Mint. Silver-plated coins are often created for novelty or deceptive purposes.
Unless you find someone that wants it, just a penny.
If a genuine zinc plated steel cent, thousands of dollars. More likely a silver plated novelty item worth a few cents. Check with a magnet, if it does not stick, it's a fake. The US never made any 1 cent silver coins, look at the coin again.
1 cent. It's plated. The US has never made a gold penny.
It is a British Penny and a US coin cut in half and stuck to each other. It has no value.
Such a coin does not exist. George V did not become king until 1910.
Plated coins are considered to be altered pieces. There were over 800 million 1958-D cents minted so anything that's been damaged is only worth a penny.
Current pennies (since 1982) are copper-plated zinc, so the answer is it's covered in copper. The penny is 2.5% copper, and 97.5% zinc. See the related links for a history of penny composition over the years.
