You can test it on your coin. https://goccf.com/t/268086 https://verdi.care/?gad_source=1&ga...no&gbrtmp=no Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24874 Posts	Posted 10/20/2025 10:35 pm The copper in it is worth ~ 3 cents, but there is no numismatic premium associated with this coin. Don't waste your time or acetone on it - toss it in your wheatie pile. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19930 Posts	Posted 10/21/2025 11:55 am Take to the sink under hot running water and rub it between your fingers. Add a little dish soap if needed. This is a low value coin, you can buy a red MS one for a song. It's just not worth any effort. Lincoln Cent Lover!
