I’m thinking about sending this in for grading. What kind of value am I looking at?

It's worth 1 cent in or out of a slab.
It would be kind of cool to spend $40 to slab a coin worth 1 cent, so I would definitely send it in.
I bet no one ever tips the shipping department, so throw a $50 bill in the box with the coin.

You never know. PCGS might err on grading your cent and mechanically grade it as an MS01 which gives the slab some humor value.
Years ago, I bought from an esteemed poster friend a gorgeous bright red and high mint state memorial cent graded VG-10 by PCGS. I have not looked at it in years so I forget the exact details.
Another example of a humor value PCGS slabbed coin is an 1878-S Morgan silver dollar graded as a Trade Dollar. It does happen.
I wished you submitted a nicer 1968-S cent which I think look almost like pocket change.
just because it's old doesn't mean it's worth a lot of money
you can see if it is one of these

I don't see why people can't understand this concept.
It isn't even old. Hell, probably half of the members here are older than this coin.
Anyway, it's worth 1c, 3c if you consider the value of the copper it's made from. These are easily available in roll quantities for about $10, and they'll be much nicer than this one.

Good luck with someone paying copper value.
It would be lovely if @sfelix felt like explaining what led to their original post, so that we could have a discussion that everyone could learn from. Since they haven't to any of their three similar previous posts, I'm not holding my breath now either.
And the shipping is free.
Whoever hit the bid key is crying.
I'd save your money for a new camera.
Seriously, unless it's a guaranteed MS69 coin, you lose.
I'd buy the MS68's for $9.98 any day.
I don't know what the point of this post is. It sounds like you are mocking the price, but that coin sells for that. 69 DCAM is top pop.
