That's an extremely broad question! "Wheatie" cents were minted for 50 years at 3 different mints so there's no simple answer. You have to sort them by date, mint mark, and condition; then compare them against a set of values like the ones linked below.
As a rule of thumb any dated 1944 or later will generally only be worth a few cents unless they're in superb condition. Before that, values range from maybe a nickel to many thousands of dollars so you need to be very careful about identifying each one by its date and mint mark.

Are pennies worth more than 1 cent?
It depends on a lot of factors. Modern cents are only worth face value, and even wheat cents from the 1940s and 1950s tend to be worth a nickel or so, simply because so many were made. But if you go back earlier than that, some US cents can be moderately to extremely valuable - for example, a 1914-D cent can be worth hundreds of dollars, and some very old Large Cents can be worth many thousands. But the bottom line is that unless you know a coin's date, mint mark, and condition it's almost impossible to assign a value sight-unseen.

How much is old wheat pennys worth?
As is the case with so many questions, the answer is that "it depends." What it depends upon are the date (and mint mark) and the condition of the coin. Specific wheat pennies in great condition (a 1909-S VDB in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, for example) could be worth several thousand dollars. If your question is actually "I have a jar with a bunch of wheat pennies in it - what can I sell it for?", the answer is that most coin shops will buy your wheat pennies in bulk for about 2 cents each (and will sell them similarly for about 3 cents each, although generally after trying to pick out the good dates first).
