I have a 2000 D copper nickel alloy one cent piece. What is it worth?

Any value to it?

Your cent is damaged. Someone scraped the copper plating especially around the rim to reveal the zinc underneath. It is not a mint error. Only worth 1 Cent

 

It has a different edge than a penny would have.

 

Suggestion: double check your photos before you post. It the photo isn't in focus, don't post it. Paddyman is correct, it is just a damaged cent. Welcome to CT BTW.

 

We can't tell with the photos you've posted, but I'd be willing to go out on a limb and say: No, just a PMD cent.

 

It doesn't have a different edge it has a damaged edge known as the rim or third side.
The zinc core has been exposed.
PMD as already stated.

 

Sorry, it is not copper/nickel, there is no such cent. Copper plated zinc is all this is.

 

I agree with all the above. A first step in understanding what you have is to weigh the coin. For example, a cent struck on a cupronickel alloy (nickel stock) should weigh 4.26g. See this table.

 

Ok. I will post more clear pictures. I’m new to this.

 

Weigh the coin!!! (Please)

 

There's nothing to weigh. It's a damaged coin with the zinc exposed.

 

I agree that it is damaged. If he weighed the coin it might help convince him that your assessment is correct.

 

Not everyone has a gram scale handy.. It's like getting a bottle of wine and you want to open it but you don't necessarily always keep a corkscrew laying around.

 

You are correct! I am one who thinks a scale which weighs to 2 decimals in grams is a necessary requirement for a serious collector's toolbox, and I want to encourage anyone interested to acquire one. For $10 or so I think it is a valuable investment. Another useful tool is a set of calipers which measure to 2 decimals in mm.

 

The edge looks different because it is a dryer coin and the edge has been compressed. That wore through the copper plating at the same time.
