Congrats! You’ve got a 1955-D penny—one of the finest, most exquisite, one-cent coins ever made… worth exactly one cent. But hey, look on the bright side: if you find 99 more, you can buy yourself a dollar’s worth of disappointment!

I thought the dye on the 55 was worth something. I've been collecting Penny's for years. What penny is valuable 1935 and up. I would like to sell one. I've seen a man sell a penny for $400 that I told about pennys being sold on the internet.
You're referring to the 1955 double die worth considerably more. Even if this was a 1955 double die Denver it probably wouldn't grade without details, looks like some cleaning has been done. Not necessarily by you.

You're referring to the 1955 double die worth considerably more. But this is a dendrant market and would not fall into that category
