I'm new to coin collecting and occasionally come across ones like this. Is it just in really good shape or is it more?

Nice coin, nice condition, low mileage--nothing out of the ordinary. Could be a good hole filler in a Lincoln Cent album.

Probably was set aside for a few decades (in an old change jar?) before being recently returned to circulation. Happens all the time when estates are settled, coin jars are cashed in, hard times are fallen upon, etc.

I agree with the others that it is in really good shape, but not a mint error.

2 of my favorites would have to be a 1929 D and 1929 P wheat pennies. I can share their photos in the morning

I know this is a coin community but I just received this at work. I've read repeted serial numbers add "value". Any ideas?

Please start new threads for different coins and bills. It makes it easier to comment without confusion of which is being commented upon.

For a liars poker hand it would be nice. But not a premium I had a bill once with the number: 38888887. But I had to spend it because of being short of cash. But I made sure to mention it to the next person.
