I have been sorting 95% copper pennies from the register where I worked (even exchange.) I never explained why I collected them, but it appears my coworkers assumed I was a coin collector. Today was my last day and I just got a MS-65 Steel cent as a going away gift. I would have preferred a box of sorted Cu cents. But, this really is a pretty penny. I'm not sure what to do with it. frame it maybe?

Save it. Every coin could tell a great story. That graded coin has one you could tell.

I have a wooden case for a graded coin and I placed it in there. Thanks for the replies.

I have a very shiny steel penny in my collection and I absolutely love it. Not only does it have historical significance like the war nickels, but it is truly one of a kind in the world of coins, and they look great too. Keep it for sure! Mine is tucked away in a lockbox with my other coins.. but putting them on display does sound like a great idea. Maybe on a corkboard or something? A cigar box might work well too
