If the wear on it is that significant, it reduces the coin's value to less than a dollar. However, if the date is still visible and it's a rare date, it could still have some additional value.

How could you determine when a particular penny was minted if the year on the penny was eroded?

If the date is worn, other clues could narrow it down. First check the design of the coin. That will be the first step. After that, look for a mint mark. The presence or lack of one can narrow down the possible dates.There are certain chemicals that can be used to reveal a worn date, but doing so reduces and potential collector value (though if the date is worn off, the value is already minimal).
