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?

No such (US) coin exists because the copper-nickel 3 cent piece was not minted until 1865.
poor condition
The Indian Head cent was not minted until 1859.
About a dollar depending on its condition.
The value of a 1989 1-cent and 2-cent piece is typically quite low, often just their face value unless they are in uncirculated condition or have unique errors. A 1983 5-cent piece also generally holds its face value, but it can be worth more to collectors if it's in excellent condition or has a specific mint mark. Overall, unless these coins are in pristine condition or have rare features, they are not worth significantly more than their face value.
An 1838 one-cent coin can be worth about $50 when in fair condition. If the coin is in excellent condition, it can hold a value of over $1000.
The value of a 1943 fifty cent piece is determined by it condition. However they range anywhere between $9.00 all the way up to $50.00.
It has a value from $38 to $25,000 depending upon the condition of the coin.
$3.00 to $15.00 in circulated condition
A US steel Lincoln cent is 5 to 10 cents in average condition.
The average value of a 1935 one cent piece is $4.80 in mint condition.
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.
