davers, are you talking about US cents, they are generally reffered to as either copper or zinc, perhaps you mean something else!? UK refers to their brass/bronze penny as such even though its 98% copper so sag said.

Wheat cents are well worth the effort considering, mr. clad eater, that copper cents will all eventually be melted down in mass volume without consideration for the wheat cent. After this point, wheat values will rise exponentially in a short time. I suggest you search in volume today, so your return will more than triple another.

Dawgslice the opportunity in wheat cents is exponential

While it is most common to refer to the copper plated cents as being zinc and the copper alloy cents as being copper, technically the alloys are either brass or bronze. Copper-zinc alloy is brass. Copper-tin alloy is bronze.
Before 1856, cents were 100% copper.
From 1856 to 1864, cents were nickel-brass
From 1864 to 1942, cents were bronze (copper-tin alloy)
From 1944 to 1982, cents were brass (copper-zinc alloy)
From 1982 to present, cents were/are zinc with a copper plating

From a metal content perspective, there is no difference in melt value between the bronze and brass cents. Melt value is entirely due to the 95% copper.
From a collector perspective, the bronze wheats are earlier dates and so would carry a bit of premium over later dates.
