Help? (Cleaning And Identifying)

Can't tell much from your pics, needs more light.

Correct me if I'm wrong here guys, but the Acetone he would want to use is Industrial Acetone not a Nail Polish Remover.....If I remember from some previous posts Nail Polish removers even though some claim 100% pure Acetone....are not. Or they tend to have Fragrances and other trace chemicals they tend not to mention on the bottle.

I've been meaning to check up on this, after another thread regarding Acetone a month or so back. I did whine up picking up a can off Amazon. Here's a description of the can,
(1qt Blue Can w/ silver top & white cap)On it reads:
Klean Strip
ACETONE
Special-purpose thinner, cleaner and remover.
Evaporates quickly
I'm sure you've seen it in your local Walmart or Big Box Store Which I come to find out.
I was kinda bummed being I spent $10 on the Acetone off Amazon and didn't realize they charged me $7 to ship it. They never mentioned the $7 shipping! LOL
Is this an OK product to use?
As always thanks for all the help.

And just like everyones been saying, If you take a better pic it would be alot easier to spot. Good Luck hope it turns out to be one.

Just to clarify...I am a girl...but it's an easy mistake.


Here are some more pictures. I'm sorry it's hard to get good light because my camera automatically makes the photo darker because of the shine on the pennies or how close I am.

Possible Close AM?



Vs. Normal AM (same year and mint)



Thanks for the Acetone idea, I'll go pick some up tomorrow and see how it works!

Your cent is a Wide AM.

If your referring to when I said correct me if I'm wrong guys, I was asking the Guys who posted to your question. I'm very sorry if It looked wrong, I was only trying to get a little more information for you. Man or woman Girl Guy, All are welcome and I am really sorry if I gave you any indication of anything different. Like I said I was just trying to get some more information for you.
I picked up on Athena right away, I mean its Athena goddess of war, wisdom and then some. favorite child of Zeus.

Edited to say, it was just a typo, my s didn't quite catch I did mean to put she just he registered I'm very sorry I didn't proof read my post very sloppy of me. But I'm glad you pointed it out, and once again I am sorry if this made you feel anything but supported.

LOVE the enthusiasm! with that attitude you will have a large collection of "history" in a short time!
Gotta admire the "just bit" collector temperment!

To go out and purchase Acetone for about $5 to possibly clean a $0.05 coin makes little CENTS. I go along with Thad and just try some soap and water. Nothing to loose on a coin that bad and that common a date. If you go to almost any coins store, coin show or even in change you may well find one with that date in much better condition for what you would have paid for the Acetone. And remember that Acetone is sort of dangerous to have around if not needed.

Never clean coins.....just sayin
