From a little Googling, I think it could be worth anywhere between $1 - $10, depending on its condition. Those worth $10 should be in extremely fine condition.

To find out how much your U.S. penny is worth, we first need to determine its type. The U.S. has made two major types of pennies, the Large Cent and the Small Cent. The Large Cents are dated 1857 and earlier, and are much bigger and heavier than our current penny type, the Small Cent. If you have Large Cents in your collection that you need information or values for, I recommend that you find an honest coin dealer to help you evaluate them, as Large Cents have many different varieties for most dates, and shouldn’t be priced using an online price guide if you want maximum money for them.
