  Good eye.

  Yep......it has value above a normal Cent.
  How much, I don't know at the moment.

  There are resources available online if you want to seek them out.

  Nice catch....they do have collector value... Not a very high premium, and condition, as always, will figure in to final value. Cheers, RickO

  For 1c, it has a tremendous premium. Somebody will pay you a fee bucks. Even if they offered you a quarter, that's still 25x face!

  $2 - $6 depending on condition, but finding a buyer is another story.

  On ebay, 430+ for sale, About 70 sold, about a 1 / 6 ratio, not good.
