It is worth face value unless it is uncirculated.
About 10 BILLION were minted so they're about as scarce as beach sand. Anything you find in change is worth a penny. As of 01/2010 even uncirculated ones aren't worth more than a dime unless they're in the highest possible conditions, MS64 or better.
If it has a D mint mark it's worth 1¢ If it has an S mint mark, it WAS a proof coin worth about $1.50 - $1.60, but now that it's been removed from its Mint holder, it's lost most if not all of that extra value.
Yes, it is only worth face value.
One penny. They were not issued that way and have no collector's value. And Lincoln was never a Freemason.
its worth 1 cent.
It is worth face value unless it is uncirculated.
It's worth 2 cents for the copper.
is a repvbblica 1979 worth anything
My guess would be that it was plated with gold (or a gold-colored metal) after minting, and that it is thus worth about a penny.
Sorry, It's a novelty coin with no numismatic value.
The density of a penny from 1979 is about 7.11 grams per cubic centimeter.
The U.S. never issued an SBA penny, only $1 coins 1979-81 and 1999. You may have a privately-minted novelty piece.

No. The U.S. has never made a silver penny.
It would seem that someone cut apart two coins and then attached the obverse of a 1979 half dollar to the reverse of a 1966 British penny. The "guy sitting with a fork" is, by the way, meant to be Britannia, the goddess who is a symbol of Great Britain, and the "fork" is called a trident.
The 1979 Canadian penny was actually released in relatively lower numbers therefore increasing its current value. Depending on the quality of the coin, the 1979 penny has been known to go for as much as $25.00, this is of course for a mint condition coin. For a better estimate of the value of your coin, it is always recommended to have your penny appraised by a professional.
