Well Larry....... Usually coins that have worked so hard that they fall into the lower grades aren't worth much. But this is the first year for the Lincoln cent so it does have a "cool" factor going for it... But there are two things that I cannot make out from your photo's. The first part of the year the designers initials VDB were very small on the reverse at about six o'clock. I cannot make it out but if you see small initials on the reverse that will add a little to the value..... But here's what I focused on. There is a doubled die variety for that year and I'll swear I feel like I see some doubling in that date. I am probably falling victim to the dreaded pariedolia disease, but if there is in fact doubling on the date, that will make it more desirable.
Some clearer photos will definitely help. Both of the DDO's are found on VDB examples. If there isn't a VDB then it is circulation wear and tear.
It's very difficult to grade a coin from a photo, especially a photo that's not very clear. So take this assessment with a grain of salt. I'd put a grade of about AG03 on it. I cannot see any indication of a VDB marking. And you confirmed that emphatically. In that grade I'd give it a value of $1-$1.50. Happy holidays. Don't stop searching.
I'm going to stick with my original grade of 03. I do think it's better than 02, but not good enough for 04. Same estimate of value, $1.00-$1.50. Have you looked at the PCGS grading scale? Here's a link to it: https://www.pcgs.com/photograde#/Lincoln/Grades
Fun coin, the VDB people are talking about isn't a mint mark, it is the designer's (Victor D. Brenner) initials which were on the bottom of the reverse. They made versions with and without the VDB. Yours is without.
