These have been done for all the states and some folks even collect them. However, since this was stamped after the coin left the mint, there is no added premium and this cent is only worth face value.

These are available in bulk as giveaways and promotional items, but they have no numismatic value. Report this Post to the Staff

There are hundreds of different types just for modern issues. Although they don't have much value, maybe 25¢, they are fun. Report this Post to the Staff
