To answer this you must know the coins grade. The value factors are its state of preservation and how rare the coin is.
The Coin grading scale runs from 1 to 70. If circulated the coin can not grade higher than 59. They are in demand in high grade by collectors.
To be properly valued it will have to be graded by an experienced person. And for the highest value it must have never been cleaned and be free of nicks and dents.
Features (to grade the coin) to look at are how clear the word LIBERTY is and the cords holding the hair. If these features are not visible the coins grades less than 8 of the 70 points.
Here's a quick wear/Grading guideline from the Redbook:
GOOD or Grade 4 : Considerably worn but LIBERTY readable.
VERY GOOD or Grade 8: Hairlines worn but visible, outline of ear clearly defined.
FINE or Grade 12: Hairlines at top of head and behind ear worn but visible. Braid over brow plain, ear clear.
VERY FINE or Grade 20: All details more sharp. Hair over brow shows only slight wear.
EXTREMELY FINE or Grade 40: Hair over ear detailed but slightly worn.
I can only give you a range of prices for a 1848 Cent.
Good (Grade 4) = $8 - $10
Very Good (Grade-8) = $12 - $22
Fine (grade-12) = $28 - $40
Very Fine (grade-20) = $40 - $50
Extremely Fine (grade-40) = $50 - $75
These values are estimates depending on condition yours may be more or less valuable.
I hope this information helps.
Good Luck
