Not worth the postage to mail it to a TPG.

To have it graded would cost $55-60.00
for a cent worth 1 cent.

Copper value is about 3 cents. That's it.

The reverse carbon spots wreck any numismatic value.

Not even worth grading at all. Just a spender.

You won't be able to clean those carbon spots on the reverse. Cleaning coins is not a good idea makes them worth less money. 100% acetone is only thing that's acceptable and it won't touch those carbon spots.

AU-55, large date, no real collector value. These are available in mint state for next to nothing.
