Jess1234 Valued Member Canada 92 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 4:00 pm Hi everyone, Wondering if anyone can help with grading of this penny? Also, should I dip it in acetone to bring back the lustre? Or any ideas on how to clean it? The weight of this 43 penny is 2.6 g. However, I read that these should weigh 2.8 g. Any feedback on this would also be appreciated. Thanks!

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 76413 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 4:29 pm I'll say EF-45, perhaps low AU. Being made of steel, they hardly wore at all. An acetone dip will not restore the luster. Report this Post to the Staff
dsking Pillar of the Community United States 2058 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 5:44 pm For the most part the Steel cents aren't a worthy coin. They're more interesting to collect with their history. You said a word that most, not all coin collectors rarely say - "clean". Personally, I don't believe in cleaning ANY coins. Others may disagree but, that's always been my belief and I respect their's. Nice that you have a Steelie though! Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5731 Posts	Posted 03/18/2023 7:49 pm Acetone won't help that coin at all. Use it as a space-filler until you can get a better one. Describe it as if there were no picture. Picture it as if there were no description. Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Pillar of the Community United States 9784 Posts	Posted 03/19/2023 05:42 am Agree with XF45 range. Nothing you can do to restore the surfaces other than causing damage. Keep it as-is and enjoy the history. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Too many hobbies .... too much work .... not enough time. Report this Post to the Staff
