We need to see closer pics to tell the grade and give you a value. Do not clean.

Based on these pictures, I would probably place it in the VG range.

I was thinking that cleaning it would be a bad idea. I don't know much about coins but I know about antique firearms. The worst thing you can do is clean or refinish an old gun. I figured the same would be true for coins. Here are larger pictures as per mcshilling's request:   |

As for grade it looks to be about G4. With better pics it may be G6.

I've heard that a vinegar, lemon juice, and salt cocktail will do wonders on an old penny. Dollar dime . . lucky find. That cocktail will do wonders. You'll wonder why whatever value it did have is no longer there. |

I just noticed this topic got moved from Modern US coins to Classic US coins. I should have seen that it was listed under the Classic category. At what point does a coin become a classic coin? Edited by Dollardime

 with the G4--at least, possibly higher if letters in LIBERTY are visible. |

Classic and modern are defined by Mom and Dad (and moderators)
and listed under the headings

"Bigger pix" does not mean "blow up this pix". Take a new pix with more detail. Doesn't matter, it's good condition, regardless.

It will do wonders alright, it will completely RUIN the coin to the point where it will be worth 1 cent. NEVER use ANY of those things on a coin. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/
