∙ 11y agoIt depends greatly on the year or condition. A general rule is that any wheat penny where the year is readable is worth 3 cents at a minimum. There are some year/mintmark combinations worth quite a bit such as the 1909-S VDB cent worth several hundred in worn condition and several thousand if uncirculated and other years such as 1914-D. As a general rule, the older the coin the more it is worth. Coins in the '40s and '50s are usually only worth a buck or two if uncirculated and 3-5 cents if circulated.
