Well it's worth more than it should be but the thing is it's not worth to much yet unless your a collector looking to build your collection of pennies then it may be worth something.
It depends on several factors. The average 1917 American penny is worth about 10 cents, and the average 1917 British penny is worth about 25 cents. It depends on condition.
In excellent condition a 1917 Wheat Penny is valued between $0.15 and $0.50 in good condition. An uncirculated 1917 penny in fine condition can net up to $45.
