If that is #50 then I would try an acetone bath and a tooth pick to conserve the coin.
As is may go AU50

Very nice 1909 VDB Lincoln Cent; yes, a little acetone will help this coin tremendously. I'll go one step higher than mcshilling and rate this coin AU53, only after the cleaning.  |

Mid-range AU for me. Hope a long acetone soak eliminates much of the crud.

EF-45 was my first thought...
But I guess on a good day...AU-50...but I wouldn't count on it...
Just too many to comare it too...
Still a hellava filler for now...
Good eye...

To my eyes, too much ware on his ear and wheat grains appear flat.

first congrats on your roll. I dont think I've ever heard anyone doing that.
if you acetone it, resend it. I think its an excellent candidate for verdicare which may clean up more than the acetone.
depends on how it cleans up could be as high as AU53

The wheat grains are quite sharp still. I would do noting to this coin other than a xylene rinse and an airtite. The crud shows it's originality, it's a circ coin, leave it be IMO.
AU-50

I don't know if others have the same problem but I seem to gravitate to them.
