There were 4 varieties of Lincoln cent that year. Look on the front of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter. It may be blank or there may be an S. Also look on the back near the bottom to see if it has the small letters V.D.B.
Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 04/2010:
No mint mark (Philadelphia), no VDB:
Very worn condition - $2.13
Moderately worn - $2.59
Slightly worn - $3.45
Almost no wear - $9.80
Uncirculated - $13.20 to $93.60 depending on quality
No mint mark, with VDB:
Very worn condition - $8.63
Moderately worn - $10.35
Slightly worn - $11.50
Almost no wear - $14.60
Uncirculated - $19.20 to $156.00
"S" mint mark (San Francisco), no VDB:
Very worn condition - $79.35
Moderately worn - $110.40
Slightly worn - $150.00
Almost no wear - $244.80
Uncirculated - $288.00 to $720.00
"S" mint mark, with VDB:
Very worn condition - $730.00
Moderately worn - $1110.00
Slightly worn - $1250.00
Almost no wear - $15,040

Any 1909-S cent should be examined and appraised in person by a numismatic expert.
It depends on the mint. Regardless of which one you have, its worth at least hundreds of times its face value. If it has no mint mark, its worth $1.15. If it has a VDB- $9.00. S- $47.00. S-VDB- $550.00. If you have one with minimal wear, it could be worth a few times these values. Congrats on the great find!
