Best Answer

Lincoln cents from the 1940s onward are generally only worth a few cents if they're in circulated condition. The only major exception would be a 1955 double-die error cent.

Before that you need to know what specific date(s) and mint mark(s) you're interested in because values can range from a few cents to many thousands of dollars. Remember, cents have been minted since 1793 so there's a lot of territory to cover.
