Your coin might retail in the range of $1 to $3 depending on the amount of wear.
All Indian Head cents were struck in Philadelphia except for small numbers minted at San Francisco in 1908 and 1909. These have a small "S" on the reverse under the wreath; the Philadelphia issues do not have a mint mark.
On the reverse look at the knot in the ribbon that binds the wreath. If it has stems they will extend from the knot, one pointing to the last A in America the other to the U in United.
If it is a proof then it will have the mintmark "S". If your coin doesn't have the mintmark "S" then it is just a normal coin.
Assuming you have a British penny with a picture of Queen Anne on the reverse, it might sell for about $15.
about $7

For a Lincoln cent, any mintmark is under the date on the obverse. Indian Head cents have the mintmark on the reverse under the wreath and can only be an "S" mintmark, on just on the 1908 & 1909 issues.
The mint mark, if the coin has one, is below the wreath on the reverse (1908-09 only).
Lincoln, Wheat Ear Reverse (Wheat Penny's) cents were struck from 1909 to 1958. A 1888 penny is a Indian Head cent with an average value of $1.00-$3.00 for most coins. NOTE: The wreath on the reverse is Oak not Wheat.
The obverse (front) of an Indian Head cent has the date, legend and bust. The reverse has the shield, wreath and denomination of one cent.
From their beginning in 1859, the Indian Head penny did not have any mint marks at all until 1908 and 1909 when the mint mark for San Francisco, California, "S", was placed on the reverse [tails] side of the coin beneath the wreath for the coins minted there.
There are several major varieties of the US 1909 cent. First off is the Indian penny, which, as you might expect, has an Indian head on the front of it. If you have one of these pennies and on underneath the wreath on the reverse there is an "S" mintmark, the coin is worth over $200, however, such examples are rare and if you have no mintmark under the wreath you have a coin worth a few bucks depending on the grade. You may also have a 1909 Lincoln wheat penny, however, there are 4 major varieties of this coin. First, on the reverse of the coin under the wheat stalks there may or may not be the letters VDB, if there is the letters VDB you have what is known as a VDB cent, these are rarer than ones without the VDB designation. If you have a VDB cent with no mintmark under the date on the front of the coin, it is worth a few bucks in circulated condition. If you have a VDB cent with an "S" mintmark under the date, you have a very desirable coin worth several hundred dollars depending on condition. If you have no VDB and there is no mintmark on your coin, your coin is worth a few bucks. However, if you have no VDB and an "S" mintmark, your coin is worth anywhere from $20 to a few hundred dollars depending on condition.Do not clean your coins. Cleaning coins will only decrease their value, especially if you have a rare coin like a 1909 S VDB.
