Yeah I've got a little pile of coins that I don't "need" but hate to set free. Except for 1995P JFK. I've begun to hate those more than 76ers.

Sure keep em. They're not making em anymore like that. Besides you can always just put a book together and sell it for a tiny profit.

You say it's 'almost AU.' So what grade would you give it? An EF? It only appears to have a few bag marks on it to me. Still I wouldn't keep it...but looks to be MS.

You absolutely need to hold that cent!
More and more people are collecting Lincoln Memorial Cents. That one grades AU 50 at least.
The half with the big gouge on the reverse is an easy return to circulation. With damage like that a an XF is about as good as it gets for that coin.
