Should I have this graded and what is it worth?

Get yourself a Red Book—best investment in this hobby. You will see that this coin is worth $0.50 in MS-65, which is better than the condition of your coin. If that's worth the grading fees for you, by all means send it in.

I'm sorry if this comes across as brusque, but you will wear out your welcome here quickly with posts of common pocket change like this one that would take a few seconds to research in the guide.

While it’s in nice shape for its age it certainly isn’t worth grading. Pretty much just face value.

Thank you, I'm going to get a red book.

If you're okay with the 2020 version, PM me your address and I'll mail you one for free (if within the US).

While I completely agree with you, this part "posts of common pocket change" is somewhat ironic given your user name.

A red book is kinda like your best friend Lotta times, just saying

I would say your coin is not worth grading.

Have it graded if you wish, but you're throwing your money away.
