I have a US penny (1 cent) from the year 1901. I want to know if it has any more value then face value.

You have a 1901 Indian head cent. It had a mintage of 79,611,143. In grade good it is worth $1.30 and $2.35 in very fine, more if it grades higher. Grade good- no Liberty visible in head band, Grade fine- Liberty completely visible but weak, very fine- slight but even wear on Liberty in head band.

It depends on the mint it came from and the condition of the coin, but yes, it is almost certainly worth more than one cent. People collect coins because they are rare (and intrinsically valuable) but in reality it is only worth what someone will pay you for it.

All pennies are worth more than their face value b/c of the copper in it. That's why it is now illegal to mail more than $5,000 worth of pennies overseas.

It depends on what kind of condition it's in. Take it into a coin dealer for an appraisal. -It could be worth a few dollars.

It all depends on condition. Bring it to a coin shop for an estimate.
