There weren't any important variety rarities in 1956 that I'm aware of, so it's just a penny, unless it is in uncirculated Red condition. If you found it somewhere, it's probably very flawed, and brown in color. Because it's a wheat back cent, it's supposedly worth more, but a dealer will only pay a premium for wheat cents in large quantities, because they tend to be unsearched and cents worth a lot more may be in the lot.

it is a copper penny copper is 3 dollars a pound and willgo up another dollar next year and in 2009 a new penny might be coming out for lincolns centennial making your 1956 more collectable because all lincoln cents will disappear in the collecting craze. ebay sells 5000 to a bag. but these little pennies will disappear in a year or two..... keep it

1955 had an error in mint shape worth $1250, but 56 they made about 2 billion. sorry Take care.

Not really, for it is relativly new and had a mintage of 420,745,000. Even in mint state they sell for around .25. You will have to hold on to it for a number of years before it's value goes up.

I'd keep it if I were you, but no, it isn't worth anything. It's not all that old for coins.

Take to an antique store and you never know they may buy it or put it up on ebay

Its worth exactly one cent. That isnt old enough to be a collectible.

It would cost more to drive to a coin dealer just save it.
