1977 d ?? New just found this one cool

Horsehockey! The "intrinsic" value is only 25% of the value for Grade A copper. Why don't you call a few hundred reclamation centers and ask what they will pay for alloyed copper. Don't tell them they are pennies because it is illegal to melt them. But, if it were legal, it is still only about 25%.

Welcome to CT David. I think your question was answered, but I'd like to add this.
You should always post in focus FULL IMAGE photos (after you upload your photo, two buttons appear: Thumbnail and Full Image, click Full Image and your photo appears full size on your post and is easily enlarged by clicking on it). Photograph coins on neutral backgrounds like black, grey, or white. Crop out superfluous background so just the coin shows, and post photos with correct orientation so members don't have to turn their computer in some awkward fashion to view it properly. While it isn’t always necessary, it is nice to show both the obverse and reverse, even if your question is just about one side. Members can often give more valuable information having both sides to evaluate. Add close ups of areas you have questions about and make your questions as definitive as possible so we know what you are asking for. And try to have the best lighting possible to show the most favorable photo of the coin. Hope this helps in the future. Good luck.

 

Ok.
