This is unusual. I did do a little looking around. Not much success . I don’t think it’s the ring of the century but it does have cool eye appeal. It’s going up for sale once I figure what it’s worth.

It's an elongated cent from the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. Pretty common, they normally sell for $5 or less.
Here's one that just sold:

Very Nice! Think back to that day in 1933 when some little kid turned the crank on that elongating machine! What a cool souvineer he had. (I have to add, to me, it would be more interesting to keep than get 5$)
Nice specimen.... I have a few elongated cents.... A couple from @lordmarcovan with his personal embossing. I keep them as interesting items... and some - such as the OP - have historical significance. Cheers, RickO
Given the high cost of shipping plus fees and charges related to selling it is essentially impossible to make any money on items in that price range anymore.
If it's really worth $5.00, I'd keep it as a pretty cool piece of history! Nice find, wherever you got it!
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
You can ship it for 70 cents via 1st class non-machinable. Total eBay fees + PayPal + shipping for a $5 item is only $1.50. I sell a lot of $5 items.
Nice!
I like this stuff. Here is a companion piece I've had for many years.
