The first predominantly copper small cent was isâ¦sued in 1864, after the 1856-1863 cents were a 88-12 copper-nickel alloy that gave them a nickel-like appearance. In 1982, the US mint began using a copper coated zinc alloy for pennies, ending the run of the solid copper penny. 18 people found this useful.
Report Abuse. 1964 was the last year for coins minted entirely of .999 silver, however, some coins were still minted with ,90 silver up until I think 1982 or so. If you can find a 1982 dime with no mint mark it is worth about $350 in any condition. That was the year that somewhere between 30,000 and 300,000 coins were minted at the S.F. Mint but the die for the mint mark wore off. Making the coins valuable for having this flaw.
