May I suggest giving it an acetone bath, will get that "dusty" looking stuff off and make that brown pop out. I'll venture a guess at VF35 or even better. Work for the kidney foundation? Great worthy outfit! My wife's on dialysis, know all about it. Report this Post to the Staff

nfine Pillar of the Community United States 3477 Posts	Posted 03/08/2018 11:17 am I've read that acetone is not recommended for copper coins on this site. Is there any chance this beautiful Lincoln could be damaged by soaking it in acetone? Report this Post to the Staff

Is there any chance this beautiful Lincoln could be damaged by soaking it in acetone? I've seen no ill effects using acetone on coins that already have the natural brown copper toning. Quote: Acetone is harmless for soaking coins in. Coins still showing the bright shiny red copper surface, I found acetone can alter or adversely tone the surface, if not handled properly.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/08/2018 11:48 pm A note on your thread title "1911 S LMC Mint Mark question". Should be LWC for Lincoln Wheat cent. LMC is for Lincoln Memorial cent of course. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
