That's the Professional Life cent, type 3 of 4.
All of the 2009 cents have somewhat lower mintages (more so as the mintage is divided into 4 subtypes), but even so, there's been over 300 million of the Professional Life type minted in Philadelphia alone.
(The fourth type, Presidency, had a Philly mintage of "just" 130 million, which is the lowest mintage of
any circulation US cent since the end of the wheat reverse.)
As such, there's probably (almost) no extra value in this condition, unless (as mentioned) it's a satin copper issue, which is unlikely. Pretty coin, though, and not
that common; I'd have kept it.
to CCF!
