The most valuable and desireable Lincoln cent is the 1909 S VDB coin. If you have a 1909 S minted cent, flip the coin over to the reverse side and look at the bottom between the wheat ears. If you see the initials "V.D.B." there in very small print, you have a highly sought after Lincoln cent. A coin in average condition (about VG20) will fetch about $1000 in the current (2011) market.
"V.D.B." was the coin designer's initials and stand for "Victor D. Brenner".

A miss-stamped penny may be very valuable, especially if it is in excellent condition. Such a coin can be worth hundreds of dollars, depending on condition, year, and the nature of the error. Not all such coins are valuable, and typically it takes a coin expert to determine if a particular coin is valuable or not.
Only around 5 cents. They're not as valuable as most people believe.
