Welcome to the forum!
Your cent is common and circulated.
If you searched a pile of cents there is a good chance you would find several others.
It's worth 1 cent, go ahead and spend it unless you want to keep it as part of your collection.
Aren't rotated die coins worth a premium as an error coin?
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

Why would you think it is worth any more than one cent?
Spend it.
2.8 cents melt value.

1 cent
The other side of your coin (not included in your picture) says that it is worth one cent. Is there some reason you disagree with that?
2 cents.

It's 60 years old?

I was hoping I found some miracle gem. Thanks for the replys
Got to love these posts.
@Pajar20 Welcome to the board. As I have learned during my short and fun time here, you are interacting with some of the world's foremost authorities on numismatics. These are the guys who literally right the books. If you want to avoid "frisky" replies do some basic research before posing a question - even just googling "1964 Lincoln Cent" and see what pops up. Also PCGS has a Price Guide for all coins, here is the one for Lincoln Cents => https://www.pcgs.com/prices/detail/lincoln-cent-wheat-reverse/46/most-active/ms?pn=3 I've also found Q David Bowers' book United States Type Coind book to be very helpful.
Cheers!

I like the look of it, and it would be an excellent "first coin" for your collection, but it's only worth one cent. You might consider going to a bank and picking up rolls of pennies to find more coins that catch your eye like this 1964. Also consider getting the Redbook of US coins to learn more about coins and their collector value.
Nearly everyone here started out in the hobby pushing 1964-Ps, 1958-Ds, 1961-Ps, or 1944-Ps cents into Whitman folders.
