LOL -- are you asking that because that's the year the world was supposed to end, according to JWs??
Clever!

I have/had a wheat penny or two. I couldn't find any value for them aside from 1 cent american.
Honestly I collect old coins. If that was the oldest penny I had I would probably keep it. I might find it kinda cool given the year, like I do when I find things that came out the year my parents married.

I would put it in the jar with all my other wheat pennies.

If I found one, I'd do what I do whenever I see any penny..... walk on.

It seems likely that a typical Jehovah's Witness would try to return the item to a lost-and-found department, or a local police precinct.
Incidentally, Jehovah's Witnesses are hardly known to be numismatic enthusiasts.

scotgirl60 that is not the year we thought the world would end. it was the year Jesus Christ was installed as King. but personally I would do nothing. I'd be like "oh, interesting!"

call a buddy numismatist and ask what it was worth.
more if in exceptional to excellent condition, if less, use
it to make up taxes at the local 99 cent store.
we dont worship dates, please understand. we watch them. learn from them, and, if you are near hadley's on I-10
you get a date shake.

Nothing...if it had monetary value, I would probably sell it. If it had no value, I would put in my change jar then cash it in when it got full.
