What is the value of a 1966 US cent?

With nearly 1.5 billion of them minted, even in uncirculated condition it's only worth a few cents. If circulated, it has no added value.

No proofs were made that year, but special "SMS" coins were struck. Even these and uncirculated ones retail for less than 50¢ except in the very highest grades.

AnswerUnder most circumstances, about a penny (although the copper value is probably about 1.5 to 2 cents). In Brilliant Uncirculated condition (MS-65 or better), it may be worth a few dollars. (Note: If you found the coin in pocket change, it isn't MS-65).
