It is not good. This steel Lincoln Cent is worth nothing more than face value. Extreme PMD and the obverse has been scratched with who knows what. I looks like someone played tic-tac-toe on it.
Looks to me to be a common steel cent example (common for steel cents, that is). Along with the characteristic dull finish, it shows a touch of wear, some rust-through, and unfortunate scratches above the date. I'd say it's a nice hole filler until something better comes along.
I'm not seeing strong evidence that it was once 'reprocessed'.
