It depends on their conditions, and for the 1908, whether there's a small S under the wreath on the back. In general, Indian head cents from the early 20th century are still common among collectors and are worth about a buck in worn condition, $2 or $3 with less wear. However a 1908-S cent is the one rarity in that date range. Prices go from $50 to $95 retail.

Assuming the coin is circulated, the 1908-S Indian Head cent is a key-date coin of the series. It's also the first one cent coin struck outside of the Philadelphia Mint. For an accurate assessment of value the coin needs to be seen and graded. In general retail values for low grade coins, as of 8-27-11, are $70.00-$95.00, better grade are $100.00-$160.00 and coins showing almost no wear run from $175.00-$260.00.
