Answer1948 is a common date for wheat cents. In circulated condition, it's worth about 3 cents. A nice uncirculated coin is worth about 50 cents. Note on "pennies"Note that the US one-cent coin has never been officially called a "penny," even though many people still call it that.

If you're looking for the value of a 1948 British penny, see the Related Question to that effect to the left.
