Values depend very much on the condition of the coin. A quick check on ebay (only as an indication). 1894 UK penny is about £1, 1894 US penny (Indian Head) is about $4. IF you think it is worth a lot more take it to a dealer for valuation

I agree with the answer above. It does depend on the condition of it. A person really needs to see it first hand and up close in order to determine a possible value.

Thanks to your showing up on this site, I am starting to get interested in pulling out my coin collection again. I haven't messed with it in many years.
