The US did not mint any large cents in 1949, large cents were only minted until 1857. If you have a small wheat cent dated 1949, it is a common issue and goes for about $.10 in circulated grades regardless of the mintmark. If you have a large cent, the value depends greatly on the condition, with ones in the late 1840s to mid 1850s fetching around $15 in circulated grades. However, as with all coins cleaning reduces the value so if you do in fact have a large cent, depending on the grade/year really determines the value, an uncirculated cent would be worth over $100 to a serious collector.
