I think you were right first time...
Think of eleven man team, five card trick. Plurals are
still men and cards. I think the 50 cent stamp is a red
herring and you still want to go with 70 cents' worth!
Not that I have any training in this area - have just always
liked trying to make logical sense of these things...

As the convention (I checked with all of them by phone) is
that the
plural of cent is cent - as in fifty cent stamp - then the
possessive
is cent's. No?
Sheepishly,

(er, and is the plural of penny - pennies or pence?)
