1. It's a CENT, not a penny.
2. You images are too blurry for an accurate opinion about the grade.
3. The coin will have some nice fingerprints on it withing a year.

AU-50, red and brown. That basically means that it's only worth one cent, no more.
When handling coins it is always best to avoid touching anything other than the edge of the coin. The oil from our hands is very corrosive to most metals, particularly if the coin is touched and the oil isn't removed.
Nothing wrong with asking questions.

Just noticed that you're new. To be clear, what you have a "struck through debris" coin. Basically, the die gets clogged so some design elements don't transfer to the planchet. It's a pretty common occurrence and not very collectible unless significant elements are missing. You need to be on the lookout for something like this:   Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/

When a die gets really clogged up, you get a true error coin called a "capped die":   |
