Is this 1957 D Wheat Penny worth anything?

I came across this wheat penny that its "rim" isn't consistent all the way around the coin - thin in areas w/ all letter touching the rim. I am curious if this is worth anything or to gain more insight. Thx

Just a very slightly off-center strike. No extra value.
Welcome to the forum
It is still within spec. It only has value if it is off enough so that part of the lettering
is running off the edge.
Slightly misaligned obverse die from what I can tell. No significant value other than that of a normal cent of this date.

Howdy and welcome.
Your find doesn't have any increase in value over a typical 1957-D Wheat cent, however, it is still cool to find in change and I would save it, as well. Additionally, you did a good job of imaging the entire coin and in writing out your question in a manner that would allow folks to help efficiently. It might seem odd, but not everyone does that well at first.

I appreciate the comments. I have some more coins I look forward to sharing to the forum and gaining some opinions/insight. Thanks all.
Looking forward to seeing more of what you have.
A suggestion, crop your pictures in the future, this will increase
the size and we don’t have to look at all that background.
