There's no specific date because it depends on the coins' conditions and mint marks. However, most common date wheat cents from the early 1950s are worth at least 2 or 3 cents if they don't show too much wear, so that's a ballpark place to start.

If you're interested in finding cents that are worth more than a dollar, for example, in general you have to work your way back to the early 1930s and even some of those are common enough to be available at pretty low prices.
