It's only a penny spend it.
How much would an 1897 indain head penny be worth today in 2012
About one cent.
It will be worth the same amount as it was in 2011. See the related question below.
As of late August 2012 an uncirculated 1909 VDB penny with no mintmark is worth at least $20. In higher uncirculated conditions they can be worth up to $400.
It's worth 2 cents for the copper content.
if the size of your penny is the same size as a copper penny and your penny is SOLID silver then a silver penny would be about 2.1 grams and today(june 25 2012) silver price is about $28.79 an ounce and there are 31.1 grams in 1 ounce making you penny worth about $1.90 but since the (kind of ) rarity it would be about $3 to somebody on ebay(+shipping) hope i helped :)
My friend found a 2012 penny in my hallway
