I just found a penny and it looks really old. It has on the date 191 and it looks like a 0 but its hard to read. its in good condition, and it looks totally different from all the other pennies. If more info is needed just ask.

When i say its in good condition i mean it isnt like dirty or anything, like rust. The number is smeared, its hard to explain, like whatever they used to stamp it was bad or something. I dont know much about pennies, so thank you for the info

Since no one is answering I will.
1910 in good grade is $0.30
Here is a list of all wheat penny values in all grades.

Just to mock Kain.
They will not pass a bill or try to remove the penny. How does that make any CENTS(sense)? Here's your change sir' $2.23....we don't have pennies do you want to round down?
Unless the pass a low that makes all prices go up or down in increments of 5 cents. So things will be 1.05, 1.10, 1.15, and so on. Not gonna happen.
Wheat pennies can be worth a little and that's probably what it is being the 191<--- with or without a number after it. Are the 2 stalks of wheat on the back one on each side? There you have it. Sorry it isn't worth much.

if you cannot read the last number it is not worth the trouble coins are evaluated by clarity and wear so yours would be worth a cent to 1.00, and actually pennies were not made after the mid to late 1800's, a real penny says one penny on it and was about the size of a half dollar coin.

As a former coin dealer I must snigger when you say it is good condition, but you have trouble reading the date. Thaty kind of good is more like lousy, don't you think?
Seriously, you have the older model cent there, a wheatpenny.
If there are no mintmarks a coin in the quality you describe is worth about 10 to 20 cents.

Take it to an antique dealer, or a coin shop. They would be able to tell you. If they keep offering to take it off your hands for a small price, don't. That means they know it's worth something, but they want you to think it is worth nothing. Hey, maybe it is worth nothing, I don't know. But I would get it checked out. Don't go to a pawn shop to have it checked either. I'd go to someone with some standing in the community regarding knowledge in coins. Good luck!

Pennys are worthless. Did you know it now costs the US government 1.6 cents to make a 1.0 coin lol. They are actually in the process of passing a bill to eliminate the penny.

Sorry man, pennys from the early 1900's aren't as rare as you would think, so its still only worth about 1 cent.

If you can't read the whole date, then it's not worth a penny.
