Trying to find out if my penny has any value to it or not. To me it seems to have several errors. The S and then the 4 in the year is almost non existent and then the words around it are on the edge. If it has any value where would one recommend selling such coin. Any hep is appreciated.

I'm sure you mean the L and not the S.
The 4 is the result of a partial Grease Filled Die
and the lettering on the edge is due to wear,
Neither increase the value of your cent.

Agree with minor grease-filled die and lettering on or near the rim is typical for this date/era of Lincoln cents.

Grease-filled 4s are extremely common on 43s. I've seen hundreds of them. Makes me wonder if there's a mind-boggling dropped 4 out there somewhere.
