unfortunately, 1 cent. all pennies made in 1959 or after, are worth 1 cent in any circulated condition.
Many thanks for your answer, but the coin in question is an 1859 one cent piece, not 1959. I understand there are a number of variations to this coin, what should I look for?

Condition is everything but in average circulated condition they go for about anywhere from around $5 to $25. Also, do not clean your coin cleaning collectible coins only cause them to decrease sharply in value. A cleaned 3 cent piece might only be worth a dollar or two and you will have a hard time selling it even at that low price.
The average value of a 1935 one cent piece is $4.80 in mint condition.
A US steel Lincoln cent is 5 to 10 cents in average condition.
