It depends on the date. The most famous errors in the 20th century are:
1922 without a mint mark. All 1922 cents were struck at Denver and should have a D mint mark, but some grease got into the die and prevented the D from striking up correctly. As of 03/2011 these errors sell anywhere from $670 to about $120,000
1955 double die. When one of the dies was being made the hub shifted slightly so the coin has 2 images, very slightly shifted. Prices range from about $1000 to $40,000

One mistake on a penny that could make it worth a lot of money is the presence of a double die error. This occurs when the design on the coin is stamped with multiple impressions, creating a doubled image. Another mistake that can increase a penny's value is a misplaced mint mark, where the mint mark (indicating where the coin was produced) is not in its usual position.
