I may have mentioned in a previous thread that I pretty much keep anything that is shiny. I don't cross the border often so when I do, any thing shiny ends up in a drawer. This is one of them. It has likely been in my possession since 1997 as when I do cross the border I only take bills and quarters. In other words, once a US penny, nickel, or dime is in my hands it is out of circulation.
I feel silly asking about a 1997 penny, but I recently saw that HA sold one in 2016 for $763.75!
So I'm curious about the one I have. Is there anything special about the ones selling for a high price?
Minimal dings, which is nice. I'm seeing the hint of a fingerprint below Trust. Tough to tell from photos but the dull areas on the obverse, such as on Lincoln's coat, might be circulation rubs, and if so AU-59.
