It all depends on it's mint and it's grade, probally anywhere from 30 cent up to four dollars.

i believe they stopped making copper pennies in 42 because they needed all copper for the war (bullets). so all pennies were made of steele. im not sure of the worth but they are extremely RARE. i would get a book of coins from library to get an idea of worth because alot will depend on condition.

In circulated condition, it's worth about 3 cents. A nice uncirculated one is worth about 50 cents.

Basically it is worth about 3 cents, sorry. Check out the source.

It wasn't until 1943 they stopped making copper pennies, its probably worth a penny.
