Take it to the sink , hold it under running water, rub lightly with your fingers and see if it comes off. Appears to be a patina to me. Lincoln Cent Lover!

Gus44 Valued Member Brazil 59 Posts	Posted 05/19/2025 11:57 pm Thank you all for your comments, First of all I didn't like the coin, but I'm starting to like it, I believe it's patina too, its reddish brown color is winning me over. Report this Post to the Staff
