Carson-City minted coins have lower mintage. This is what drives the values.
They're actually called mint marks rather than "symbols". There have been 8 different mint marks over the years. Four mints are currently in operation: P = Philadelphia Mint D = Denver Mint (1906-present) S = San Francisco Mint W = West Point Mint. In the past, there were: CC = Carson City Mint C = Charlotte Mint D = Dahlonega Mint (1838-61) O = New Orleans Mint Most coins of the Philadelphia Mint earlier than 1980 are unmarked. Currently the Lincoln cent is the only coin that does not show a "P" when struck at the Philadelphia mint. --http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mint_mark
One cent. Please check your pocket change. While all other denominations carry mint marks, the only circulating cents that bear a mint mark are from Denver. Those minted at Philadelphia (and occasionally at West Point) do not have mint marks.
From 1959 to present day, valuable pennies include the 1969-S Lincoln penny with a doubled die, which can be worth thousands. The 1970-S penny with a small date is also sought after by collectors. Additionally, any 1982 or later copper pennies (specifically, those made before mid-1982) can be valuable due to their copper content. Always check for mint marks and condition, as they significantly affect value.
Assuming no mint marks a mint state coin is about $30.00. Average price of circulated coins are $1.00-$12.00 depending on the grade.

There is a rare proof version of a 1990 penny without a mintmark that was produced in San Fransisco which is worth anywhere from $1,000 to $2,000. Those come in a special set with a case and have a higher relief cameo with a thicker layer of copper coating.
