Pennies (note the spelling; cents, actually) have been struck for hundreds of years at 3 different mints, so it's not possible to say without having more details.

First, you need to know the coins' dates. Different numbers of coins were struck each year so some are much rarer than others.

Second, you need to know where they were minted. Cents without mint marks come from Philadelphia, while those with an "S" come from San Francisco and "D"s from Denver. Again, different mint marks have different rarities.

Finally you need to know how worn each coin is, because coins that are less worn are worth more than ones in worse shape even though they have to same date and mint mark.

There are a number of sites listing values. Some pages that I've found to be pretty accurate are:

There really isn't a coin called a "one cent penny". The US and Canada mint coins called cents; the term "penny" that we all use is actually a slang expression that's left over from the British Coins that circulated in colonial times. Both terms refer to the same coin, so "one cent penny" is a bit like saying "a three-foot yard" or "a 1000 gram kilo".

Anyway, the US has minted cents/pennies for about 225 years so it's really important to know the coin's date. If it's a modern Lincoln cent, it's also important to know if there's a small S or D under the date. Please post a new question with that information for a specific value.

There's no way to tell without a lot more information. Please post a new, separate question with its date, denomination, and country of origin.

Note that most common coins already have answers posted. Look for questions in the form "What is the value of a (date) (country) (coin)?", e.g.

"What is the value of a 1937 British shilling" or

"What is the value of an 1899 US quarter"

Mint stamps are always worth at least face value. Most of the stamps of the early 1970's with a 10 cent value can be purchased for 60 to 70 cents each. Selling them to a dealer is likely to get you about 80 percent (8 cents each) for them.

Of course, they printed 10 cent stamps in the 19th century and those may be worth something. It is really dependent on the stamp. Consult a stamp catalog, you can find one at your library, and it will help. If it is worth more than a couple of dollars, you can probably get 30 percent of catalog value for it.

This really does depend on what you mean. As a general rule Roman coins have little value but rare British coins such as the 1658 Crown (Cromwell) can fetch thousands of pounds. Condition and Date are very important.

The oldest British Pennies date back to the time of King Offa of Mercia, during the late 8th century AD.

They were a hammered gold coin and apart from the fact they were round, bore little resemblence to any of the more modern Pennies. They were also amongst the first British coins to feature an an image rather than the more traditional runes or symbols.

A Penny from this period in the best possible condition might get up to £85,000 GBP.

The coin on which the King Offa Penny was modelled, the gold Dinar, might get up to £375,000 GBP.

It's worth face value - 1 cent. Unless there is something unusual abt the coin or uncirculated, it won't be worth more than a penny.

Copper could be a factor. The penny's made today are not made of copper I would go to a copper dealer.

How much will a 2 cent stamp be worth today?

There is a lot of variety in asking about a 'two cent stamp.' You will have to determine a lot more about it to determine value. Consult a postage stamp catalog, usually available at your local library for exact identification and catalog values. Most used US postage stamps are worth 15 or 20 cents, the minimum amount required to catalog and stock the stamps. Unused will always be worth at least their face value. Special cancellations and different values are likely to be worth more. If it is truly an old stamp, it could range in value to a couple of dollars. If it is a really rare variety, it could be worth much more!
