If by "real copper penny" you mean a US cent made before the change to copper-plated zinc, there's no specific answer. Cents were made of pure copper from 1793 to 1857, and were struck in various copper alloys (mostly bronze) from 1857 to 1982 so values can range all the way from face value for common dates, up to hundreds of thousands of dollars for the oldest and rarest. Most common-date wheat cents (1940-1958) are worth less than a nickel unless they're in top condition. If you have an older coin you need to know its date, and for cents dated 1908 or later, what mint mark if any is on it.
If it's genuine, current retail is $6,000 to $22,000. However there are many counterfeits so you would need to have the coin examined by a licensed or certified professional numismatist.
