    It's composition is Cu-Zn, unlike its Commonwealth and American Colony Series which is Silver. So pretty much if I'm a refiner, this coins are worth nothing, if I'm a numismatist these coins would be worth more than its face value depending on the coin's condition but far far less than I would be paying for its Silver counterpart.
