    I'm assuming from your question that it's a penny, not a farthing or half-penny which share the same design in bronze.

    If it's a 1937 Canadian (KM#32) then it's retail value is close to a dollar; if it's any other year the retail value is 15-25¢.

    If it's an Australian (KM#36 or 43), the retail value is between 15¢ and $15.

    If it's Great Britain (KM#845) the range is 15-50¢.

    If it's from elsewhere in the British Commonwealth, chances are the value is in the same range, but I haven't checked all 25+ possible countries.

    If you are not a coin collector, spend it if you can, because dealers don't generally purchase individual minor coins, and both the cost of shipping and the fees eBay would charge you to sell it are as much or more than the coin is worth.

    Sorry[​IMG], I missed the caption which identified the country and year. The 1950 Canadian cent is KM#41, mintage 60,444,992. The current Krause gives values of 10¢ F/15¢ VF, so my last paragraph is still valid.
