In the past, 1 cent and 2 cent coins had a certain collector's value, and the value depended on its "condition" and "vintage".
In fact, the value of common hard cents is not high, around a few cents, only a very small number of "coin" series, the value of which ranges from hundreds to thousands, mainly because of the large number of issuances.
Both the 1 cent and 2 cent coins belong to the "second set of RMB", and they are also the "first set of metal circulation coins" issued by banks, which have certain commemorative significance.
This set of "hard cents" was first issued in 1955 and ceased circulation in 1992, and most of the coins issued during this time period were in circulation.
Only a few "sets" were issued as "collectible" commemorative coins that differed from ordinary coins.
"Hard cents" have also been issued in different years in the later period, and most of them are bound in sets and issued in limited quantities, and do not participate in market circulation.
Among them, the "1 cent coin" has been issued for a long time, from 2005 to 2018, there are still coins issued, which are only used as bank change settlement, so they are relatively rare in the market.
The number of 1-cent and 2-cent coins is relatively large, and the common coin series on the market are worth about a few cents, and the market is basically per catty, with a value of about 65-75.
Now there are many people who think that the value of "hard cents" is very high, this is actually an illusion, although the "hard cents" were issued relatively early, with a certain sense of historical age, but the number of issuances is large, and the "rarity" is missing.
The hot ones on the market are, the "Five Heavenly Kings" and the "Four Little Dragons" series, with collection values ranging from about 100 yuan.
"Five Heavenly Kings": 5 points from 1979 to 1981, 2 points in 1980, 1 point in 1981; "Four Little Dragons": 1 point in 1955, 1957, 1992, 2 points in 1992).
Among them, the "1 cent coin" in 1955 and 1957 has been used in circulation in the market, and the coins of other years have not participated in the market circulation in loose coins.
