The coins really depend on the date, the mint-mark and the condition. Generally, the older the better and the close to mint-state as possible the better. Wheat pennies struck in the 1950s are only worth about 3-10 cents in circulated grades, while even a poor condition example of a 1909 S VDB cent could be worth well over $75. Do not clean your coins, cleaning coins will only decrease the value of them.
