It depends on the condition of the coin. They generally range from about $1 for one in "Very Good" condition, to $40 for one in "Mint State". The Official Red Book of United States Coins is a great resourse for valuing your coins. But, as always, a coin is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.

Did you check the coin for a mint mark? It is on the buffalo (bison) side below the words five cents at the bottom of the coin. If no mint mark it was minted in Philadelphia and has a mintage of 58,264,000. It is not a rare or scarce coin. There is however a 1935 double-die reverse coin that is scarce. You would see doubling in the letters and buffalo. If so see a coin dealer. The plain 1935 is worth .65 in low circulated grade to $2 in high circulated grades. These values are about what a dealer would pay. The Red Book has a wealth of info in it, but the prices listed in it are not realistic.

At Michaels arts and crafts they have a book showing the value of all types of coins. It would be something worth picking up if you collect

The "Black Book" has the price a dealer would pay for any coin.
When I sold my collection to a dealer he almost fell over when I told him I knew the values from the "Black Book." I recall that I got it from the library.
