Its worth the face value of 1 cent.   In 2009 the mint produced four versions of the Lincoln cent to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the Lincoln cent which was first produced in 1909.   Each design was meant to portray a portion of Lincon's life, the design you have is called The Professional Life.

    Welcome to the NGC chat board. In the future, please post questions about coins, preferably with clear, cropped photos, on the "Newbie Coin Collecting Questions" forum, where forum members, many of whom are experienced collectors, will endeavor to answer them.

   The coin you describe is a 2009 "Professional Life" reverse Lincoln cent, of which 316 million were made.  It features one of four commemorative reverses that were used in 2009 to commemorate the bicentennial of Lincoln's birth and the centennial of the Lincoln cent. Although it isn't possible to evaluate this particular coin without photos, your coin is probably only worth its face value of one cent or not much more and wouldn't be worth the cost of submission to a third-party grading service such as NGC.
