One cent
The last Indian Head penny was made in 1909, look at the coin again and post new question.
1911 with no mint mark in good condition is worth $.20, uncirculated is worth $30.00, proof is worth $275.00.
All 1911 U.S. cents were made of bronze. The only steel cents ever issued were dated 1943, and were made of that metal to save copper for the war effort. If your 1911 cent appears to be steel it's almost certainly plated, not really steel. Try picking it up with a magnet. If it doesn't stick, it's not steel.
A circulated Philadelphia Mint (no mintmark) 1911 Lincoln cent in average condition is 25 cents to $1.75 if it's in collectible condition, coins that are bent, corroded, scratched, used as jewelery or have been cleaned have far less value if any to a collector or dealer.
