After that, maybe use an acetone-soaked q-tip to manually remove remaining residue. It would be good for learning. It won't add any value to the coin, though. It's worth one cent either way.

It does seem that the substance was removed from the surfaces, whatever it was. The new pics make it look silvery-colored. I assume that's just the pics.
How would you describe the color in-hand?

Rabbit, have you tried to see if it is slightly magnetic? That may indicate a coating(plating) of nickel(slight, not real strongly attracted). Someone was playing with it apparently, maybe tried one of the thousands of aYoutube videos about how to coat/electroplate a cent.
