I found this video and from 5:45 the guy says that the 2017 P mint mark penny will be valuable in the future. I have one of those and I'm curious if it's true. What you guys think? Video:

One of the main problems with a 2017 P Penny is that the year 2017 has not come to an end yet. They could end up minting multiples of billions of them.
NONE of the Lincoln Cents mentioned are rare; they are comparatively scarce. Just be guided by the market pricing instead.
For very scarce, consider a Romanian 1901 2 Lei (12,476 minted), or a 1996 Romanian 10 Lei (5,000 minted) or the FAO and Olympic Series 10 Lei, 8 coins each, (10,000 of each minted).
I think they put the 2017 P for "clickbait." They want you to think, "Oh, rare valuable pennies! Wait, a 2017 can be rare and valuable?!? I'd better click the video to find out!"
Quote: FAO and Olympic Series 10 Lei, 8 coins each, (10,000 of each minted).
Pretty sure that only the Olympic series 10 lei (6 types, as far as I can tell) have mintages of 10,000. There are a few other FAO types, but they have higher mintages (I actually managed to find some of those in bargain bins, including one with a 50,000 mintage - sadly I wasn't lucky enough to find an Olympic 10 lei).
I'd also recommend the Kiribati 10 and 20 cent coins from 1979 (mintage 20,000).
2017-dated circulating cents from the U.S. Mint facility at Philadelphia include a 'P' mint mark for the first time in history. This is a one-year-only embellishment, added as a small part of the Mint's 225th anniversary celebration. These P-cents are far from rare, however, with more than 2.5 billion already made through the first seven months of this year.
The other thing, nowadays you have these videos floating around telling you ways you might make quick money and so many people end up saving the pennies that even a low-mintage coin would soon be hoarded.
