Old coins are valuable because they're old and rare. The 1945 penny isn't worth remarkably more than other coins of its approximate age (in fact, it's worth a lot less than a 1944 steel penny, or a 1943 copper penny, both of which are extremely rare).

Collectors often look for specific mint marks or unique features that can increase the value. For an accurate appraisal, it’s best to consult a coin dealer or a numismatic expert.
