You may also have a 1909 Lincoln wheat penny, however, there are 4 major varieties of this coin. First, on the reverse of the coin under the wheat stalks there may or may not be the letters VDB, if there is the letters VDB you have what is known as a VDB cent, these are rarer than ones without the VDB designation.

Several US cents are worth a considerable amount of money, especially in high grades. A copper 1943 cent can bring six figures. The 1914-D, 1922 (no mint mark), 1909-S and 1909-S VDB are the high-dollar, non-error cents in the Lincoln series. An 1856 Flying Eagle and 1877 Indian Head are worth quite a bit, and if you go for even earlier types, anything uncirculated is priced in hundreds or thousands of dollars.
The "V" is the Roman numeral 5, the coin is a 1909 Liberty Head Nickel that is common with a value of $1.00-$3.00 in average condition.
The Indian Head cents were replaced by Lincoln cents in 1909.
Not directly, but US Large Cents were discontinued in 1857 so the size is important in the sense that a large US cent is over 150 years old and thus is likely to be scarcer than a modern small cent. But as the saying goes, "It's not that simple". Some Large Cents were made in quantity and some small cents were only minted in small numbers, so some small cents (e.g. an 1877 Indian head cent or a 1909-S VDB Lincoln cent) can be worth a lot more than a common-date Large Cent.
The Lincoln cent entered circulation in August, 1909.
