Most 1908 Indian head cents are worth about $2-3 (retail) if they are in moderately worn condition.
However, if there is a small "S" on the back under the wreath, you have a much rarer coin from the San Francisco mint. In similar condition a 1908-S cent retails for about $90.
Pennies from 1908 in good shape can vary in value depending on their condition and mint. Generally, a well-preserved 1908 Indian Head penny can be worth around $1 to $5, while a 1908 Lincoln wheat penny can be valued at $0.50 to $3. It's best to have a coin appraiser assess the coin for a precise value.

1908
1908 pennies Cents from 1908 have a collector value of at least 75¢, probably more. 1960 cents are made of copper but are so common that they aren't worth more than maybe 2 or 3 cents unless they're uncirculated. Cents made from mid-1982 to today are copper-coated zinc and are worth 1 to 1.5 cents as scrap. Besides, it's illegal to melt them. NOTE: This question is a typically a trick question. Consider that the year numbers are actually just numerical values, since there is no part of question that specifically states the numbers are years. In that case, two-thousand and seven (2007) pennies are worth $20.07; more than 1908 pennies which are only worth $19.08. Each penny is only worth a cent.
1960 pennies are worth more. Wrong!.... 2008 are worth more... its about quantity not YEAR Clever. But I would point out that the 1990 pennies would probably be worth the most due to the fact that they contain more copper =)
Based on melt value alone, any Lincoln cents minted before 1982 are worth about 2 cents each for their copper content.
The 1908 penny is likely worth the most, as it may be considered a collectible due to its age. The 1960, 1990, 2006, and 2007 pennies are likely only worth face value unless they are in mint condition or have a rare error.

King Edward VII was king in 1908, there are no King George 1908 Pennies.
One dollar from 1908 is now worth $25.64 dollars. This is due that?æthe value of the dollar today is less that it was in the past. That is because prices seem inflated as each dollar is able to buy less and less.
The copper in a US cent made before 1982 is worth almost 2 cents. Those made after 1982 are worth much less than 1 cent (but the cost of producing them is about 1.5 cents). Both types were made in 1982. But before you start sorting your pre- and post 1982 pennies, you should know that there is an administrative order prohibiting the "melting or exporting of large numbers of one and 5 cent coins" which could result in a fairly large fine.
Of course! In the U.S., the first cents were made in 1793. In England, pennies date back to the Middle Ages.
