The Coin which I have been asking about.. here is the latest: Value about $2. Pennies minted prior to 1860 were thicker..and made of copper. after this date..bronze... (I dont agree with this...as I am sure the Pennies from pre decimal days were copper..can someone verify this please??? Bronze to me is not the same colour.. and I remember my pennies as being copper colour!!! Maybe wrong.. I love to question the experts! Nevertheless, I am retaining my coin of 1854 with Queen Victoria on... so thank you to all the people who showed interest in this coin.... Adele
