1941 L on rim wheat penny 1 1

Not sure if this is a keeper for collection or not.  I had been told having the L in rim is something unique.  Is this true?   Thanks to all who give advice, it’s truly appreciated

   Whoever told you this was wrong. There is a great deal of disinformation about coins on the Internet. A 1941 cent in circulated (Fine or so) condition like this one is only worth a few cents. The "L" being near the rim, likely the result of a worn die combined with wear, adds no value.

Keeper for your collection? Definitely, while not much value a 1941 cent would be a good start to a Lincoln cent collection.  As Sandon stated better than I ever could, Lon rim is not an error, just a scam from unscrupulous sellers!

All Lincoln cents had the L close to the rim up to 1968. In 1969 they reworked the master die    
and moved it away from the rim so from then to present they are all the same.

Thanks so much. Great information and advice.   There is so much confusion and misinformation out there. Plenty of scammers too.  I appreciate the integrity.
