DO NOT CLEAN IT! It's a beautiful coin as it is and the 99 is the rarest of the WAM's. If you clean it, the value WILL drop to about 1/10th the price as it is. Lincoln Cent Lover!

The ONLY way I'd "clean" it is to run it under some hot water and rub with your fingers (no cloth). Looks like there's some bubble gum or something on it. It's only a 20 cent coin, but if you strip it clean with a harsh cleaning it will be worth 1 cent. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff

Cole317 Valued Member United States 248 Posts	Posted 03/15/2009 3:09 pm Ok BadThad, I really need to thank you, I was just on my way out to go and buy some of that acetone or whatever that stuff is. So thanks a lot, and is it worth getting it slabbed? Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19960 Posts	Posted 03/15/2009 6:24 pm Cole - Nah, I'd just leave it raw. IMO, it'd only be worth slabbing if it was at least MS62. From the limited pics, it looks to be AU/EF, probably a $50 or so coin. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
