<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Amos 811, post: 2225030, member: 73711&quot;]<b>United States Circulating Coin Values</b>This table does not reflect U.S. Mint production costs, but the pure base metal value that composes the coin. Calculations are based on coin weight, metal composition, and base metal prices. The &quot;Metal % of Face Value&quot; column represents the percentage of metal that comprises the denomination&#039;s purchasing power. A coin that is over 100% in this category has more base metal value than purchasing power.</p><p><br /></p><p>Table based on August 31, 2015 mid-day base metal prices:</p><p><b>Copper</b> $2.3272/lb

The 1943 steel cent is not included in the table above.
