1955 jacketed penny

I have a 1955 penny that has a nickel or silver
jacket over it. Is this worth anything?

Hi Siafu. Welcome to Cointalk!

It is most likely brass plating and it has significantly DECREASED the value of the penny to a collector anyway. It's still worth 1 cent.

 

yes it is worth some because it got messed up

 

any idea how much?

 

I already told you the value is 1 cent.

 

Welcome to the neighborhood.

No, it is not worth any more than face value.

Me thinks siafu might hail from the good old U.K. I don't know anyone else that uses the term "jacketed" except the Brits. :goof:

looks like the 55 may have environmental damage.
* 1955 the US Mint was minting a lot of other Country's coinage,maybe struck on wrong planchet??? a better photo would help too
