As always look for the RD designation. A RD 2012 D Shield Penny with be worth about 20 to 30% more than one that is RB (Red Brown), and a RB will be worth more than a Brown (BN).

How much is a 2012 S Shield Penny worth?
In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around 1 cent, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $25 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 2012, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
