You have what is known as a Coronet Cent. A coins value (like all collectibles) depends on numerous factors such as its condition, denomination, country of origin, type, mintmark (if any), errors, etc. The value of your particular coin is much more dependent on these factors than most. In good condition (depending on its exact type) the value can range from $40 all the way to $20,000. I know that this doesn't help much, but this is one of those types of coins that I would have to see in order to appraise. If you send me some pictures (leave a shout on my profile and I'll give my email) then I could easily tell you its approximate value.
