D. I have this lovely penny from 1985 that has been in this glass bottle since then. Probably silly of me to ask but the color is nice and I was curious if this is worth getting out of the bottle and having it graded? Should I be leaving it in this bottle? Would love some advice. Red/orange tones. Thank you for your time in advance.

This is a test, right? You are asking if you should pay $30 to authenticate and encapsulate a cent from 1985? I'm gonna say yes, but only if you can get it out of the bottle without breaking it. Then you can return the bottle to the distributor and get a nickel back too.
