    Are you a numismatist? Then Answer A, if not, the coin would cost you more in listing fees at ebay than it's worth.

    Is it special? No! Should you keep it? If you don't already have a better example. Yes! ~ Chris

    A Lincoln 1926 cent does not carry any special rarity. Given it's pretty worn condition, you would very likely not make much from it. So on "worth it to sell?" I would lean towards no.

    The question "Worth it to keep" is really your decision. Do you want to collect Lincolns? Do you like the coin? If so, keep it. Given the coin's condition and rarity, it would not be a keeper for me, but I also don't collect Lincolns.
    This is a completely personal decision.

    A worn common date Cent that's 94 years old. Nice but not worth the fees to sell it.

    Welcome to CT. I personally keep all of the older dated coins I run across, just because you don't find them much any more, especially in circulation.

    If you don't already have one then I'd keep it. As others have said it's not worth the fees to sell it.

    Keep it! Even if you aren't a collector, toss it in a drawer somewhere. Nice souvenir from the past. Somebody in your family will want it someday.

    If you decide to sell, it's only worth around 15-20 cents. I think the best way to sell something like that is in lots of at least ten coins. I think it would be worth it to sell if you could put it in a roll of 50 similar coins. If you don't have enough to sell as a lot, why not hold on to it?
