    DJB is right with out more info it is only 1 cent. If it is a MS70 certified which cost approximately 25 to $50 for certification. It could be as much $115.00.

    a circulated coin:
    The 1912 Wheat Penny was minted in 1912 at the Philadelphia Pennsylvania mint. In 1912 there were 68,153,000 1912 pennies minted in all. Of course this figure doesn’t reflect the mint proofs that could have been minted that year at the Philadelphia mint and only includes the amount of 1912 Wheat Pennies that were poured into circulation

    A coin minted at that 4th U.S. mint would be worth a bunch of cash. The 1912 p has the lowest value for that year.

    I started collecting these about 10 years ago. My oldest is a 1903 Indian head. Have a handful of Buffalo nickles and a few nickel pennies, '42 or '43? Fun stuff.

    A copper 1944 Penny w/correct mint was extremely valuable, I had one and put it on mom and Dad's dresser, and my sister put it in a gum machine, it was worth $50,000 in the 1950s, I saw it in Life Magazine. I found a diamond in the 1950s and got about $50.00 at a jewelry store, it was a loose stone. I was in my dad and moms car at NorthernLights shopping center, i yelled stop the car money is blowing on the parking lot, I picked up quite a few w/ my sister-in-law. Noboby saw em right a way, it made the news.

    Collected Lincoln's as a kid in the late 50's and found the coveted 1909 S vdb, still with some mint color. Sold it in 1965 for $900 and bought my first car ('55 Chevy). Wish I still had both!

    Being "worth" $1.36 means you might get a nickle for it if you wanted to sell it-- I know dealers that have thousands of wheat pennies
