Certainly not worth the time and effort. Value 1 cent either way.

Acetone. If you haven't tossed the coin yet, try acetone. It will be an education piece, if nothing else. Try it.

I have rolls of OBW 1960-D cents. Not worth the effort. Looks like clear clue or clear fingernail polish. Spend it.

I ended up microwaving water to just under boiling, and dipping it and letting it soak a few minutes then worked that stuff loose. I know its not valuable but I like the petina.

Good for you!! At the end of the day, it's about the "beholder", if you really like it, you should keep it, it looks nice.

Sure is a nice looking coin you have. Great job on the 'restoration' of it. I would have just dumped it into my change jar
