1827 US Penny

No one can give you a value without seeing the condition of the coin. I do not know why anyone would say it "might be a strawberry"
There is a Strawberry Leaf variety, but that is on a coin of a completely different design from 1793. If you cannot upload the photos to the site, you can always use a hosting service like Photobucket or Google Picasa. As far as a bit of background info, you can look here.

This coin is a Coronet Cent.
Specificaly a Matron Head Large Cent. These were struck (1816-1839).

As a response to public criticism of the Classic Head, the Mint assigned Chief Engraver Scot to redesign the cent in 1816. This newest design enlarged the obverse portrait, giving Liberty a much more mature look (leading to the Matron Head reference), and surrounded the portrait with stars along the outer edge of the coin.
