The word COPY means exactly what it says. Your "penny" is a copy made privately as a novelty piece and is not a regular mint issue. The word COPY is mandated by law for any piece that is meant to resemble a legitimate coin. Its presence is a flag to the collector that they have an artificial item, but it is legitimately made as such. All reputable manufacturers include the word COPY so they won't be charged with counterfeiting. Of course any counterfeiter would never put that mark on a piece they were trying to pass off as genuine, so it's still necessary to have "finds" authenticated. Precisely what it says - it's a copy, no doubt made for some kind of giveaway or sample set. As such it would not have any numismatic value. The good news is that whoever or whatever company made your coin followed the law by including the word COPY, so that there is no chance of misrepresentation as a genuine coin. It's exactly what it says - a copy made as part of a novelty or keepsake set. It's not a genuine coin.
