There is no easy way to convey in text what you have to really look for. The first thing to do is look if "COPY" or "REPLICA" is stamped on the coin, if that is on it, the coin is a replica and has no collector value. If it doesn't have that stamped in, compare its dimensions to a normal penny, if all that works, I'd take it in to a reputable coin dealer and see if he can tell you if it is a replica or not.

A genuine 1909 penny will have a high value due to its rarity and historical significance, while a replica will often be lighter in weight, have less detailed features, and not show signs of aging or wear. You can also consult with a coin expert or use specialized equipment to confirm its authenticity.
