Hey I just found this penny in the till at work, I was wondering if its worth anything.

It looks toned but I am still a newbie to coin collecting. Any words of wisdom pertaining to toning is much appreciated! expecially on newer pennies and president dollars

sorry for some of the pics this is my first time taking pictures of coins. (although I am a bit proud of the obverse at an angle)
Any wisdom pertaining to coin photography is appreciated as well

Your photos are not too bad. To answer your question, no. It is not natural toning more than likely produced by heat or some other source. 1999-D is a very common modern date. Welcome to the CCF!

Photos aren't too bad, there is room for improvement but you've done well for a first attempt. Please don't take this wrong but while you may be proud of the obv angle photo it is basically useless for anything other than trying to show a problem on the edge of the coin. In most cases the straight on shot is the best. In the few cases where and angled shot is needed it is usually best to try and keep the angle as close to a straight on shot as you can while still showing what you need the angle shot for.

I agree with everyone else, not worth over face.
