It really depends on the condition. They are worth about 5 cents if in average circulated condition and have nearly all the plating, only about 2 cents if there are any spots of rust on the coin. The mintmark really doesn't make much of a difference, though the "S" mintmark is the least common of the 3. If the coin is in uncirculated condition, it might be worth about a dollar or two.
