Well, honey, back in 1900, a penny could get you a whole lot more than it can today. You could snag yourself a newspaper, a loaf of bread, or even a small bag of candy for just one cent. Nowadays, you'd be lucky to find a dusty old penny on the ground, let alone buy anything with it.
Ah, isn't that a lovely question? In the 14th century, a penny was worth quite a bit! It could buy you a loaf of bread or maybe even a small meal. Just imagine all the beautiful things you could create with that penny back then.

In 1900, one British pound had significantly more purchasing power than it does today. Adjusted for inflation, one pound in 1900 would be equivalent to roughly £100 or more in today's currency, depending on the specific calculations and the inflation index used. The value reflects the cost of goods and services at that time, which were much lower compared to modern prices. This means that everyday items, such as food and clothing, were much cheaper in 1900 than they are now.

The value of a 1900 penny can vary depending on its condition and rarity. In general, a 1900 penny in average circulated condition is worth a few dollars to collectors, while one in excellent condition could be worth more. It's best to have the coin appraised by a professional for an accurate valuation.
One could buy Black Tables from many different locations. Stores such as Macy's and J C Penny have a furniture department, of which one could go to purchase what one wants.
A coin dealer would have to buy it (or you could sell it via eBay or craigslist) but at most that penny is worth 3 cents. It is a really common penny and most likely you would find no one wanting to buy it for over a cent.
Assuming you mean a U.S. Indian Head cent and not a British penny, 1900 is a common date for Indian Head Cents. In average circulated condition it's worth $1.00-$3.00.

By 1917, you couldn't buy a lot with just one penny: one popular item was penny candy, and many candy stores had jars of it; there were also a few toys that still cost a penny. And you could still mail a post card for one cent. But although there were fewer things that cost one cent, there were some that you could buy for two or three pennies. Many newspapers in 1917 cost two cents (some had begun raising their rates from one cent to two cents as paper became more expensive); postage stamps were also generally two cents. And if you could come up with five pennies (or a nickel), you could see a movie-- although not in the best seats.
