a penny
If it has a D mint mark it's worth 1¢ If it has an S mint mark, it WAS a proof coin worth about $1.50 - $1.60, but now that it's been removed from its Mint holder, it's lost most if not all of that extra value.
The mint mark does not determine the value of a coin. If you have a penny and want to know what it is worth, please submit a new question and include the date on your penny as well as the mint mark.
If there is no mint mark the coin was made at the Philadelphia mint. It was not until 1979 that the "P" appeared on the penny. "P" mintmarks have NEVER been used on pennies.
