How Much Is My 1917 Wheat Penny Worth?

The best place to check any coin valuation, apart from seeing a numismatist in person, is to check on various coin valuation websites such as Jake’s Marketplace (jakesmp.com) or mycoincollecting.com.

Internet auction sites are full of amateur numismatists so, having checked the caliber of their selling history, it might be worth putting the coin on one of these sites before seeking a professional valuation. Indeed, the more research you do yourself the better the amateur numismatist you become in addition to this.

The price also depends on the condition of the coin. The US one cent coin was issued with Lincoln on the front and wheat on the reverse from 1909 until 1958. Since 1959 the one cent coin is issued with the "Memorial reverse".

A 1917 penny, according to sammler.com, can fetch up to 10 dollars, in the following conditions and types: 1917 VF: $1, 1917 XF: $4, 1917 D VF: $2.50, 1917 D XF: $10, 1917 S VF: $2, 1917 S XF: $10. Conversely, coins.about.com lists the values as negligible despite being up to 1500 per cent their face value: 1917: 12 cents, 1917 D 15 cents, 1917 S 16 cents. It is best to shop around to find the right price.

It depends on the mint mark ( none,D,or S) but it is worth from $0.30 to $1.30.

You didn't mention that it is a wheat, silver or gold penny I think its worth is more than $0.2. You can get a fair idea by going to 1917-penny site. Or check out penny-price-guide-chart. This sure will be of great help.
