Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 09/08/2021 12:06 am I found this Lincoln Penny in my change and it looks like double lips I also see a few die cracks - Lincoln's hair and face. Would love to hear your input. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34425 Posts	Posted 09/08/2021 12:15 am Looks to me like Abe has a scratch down his cheek. There may be MD on his chin, but it is a little hard to tell due to that surface discoloration.

Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 09/08/2021 12:25 am Spence, I agree with the discoloration- it was difficult to get a clear pic. Would you recommend acetone on this? It could be a scratch across his face but looks like cracks in his hair? Report this Post to the Staff
Bumpkin Pillar of the Community United States 509 Posts	Posted 09/08/2021 01:24 am Unfortunately, acetone is not going to help, or for that matter hurt, this Lincoln Cent. This is a zinc cored cent, with an extremely thin copper plating, and it appears that it is a matter of time before the thin copper plating on it disappears and Linc catches the Zinc Rot disease. It truly is a shame that the quality of the zinc Lincolns are what they are. Report this Post to the Staff
Telliott007 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 09/08/2021 09:56 am Well that's a bummer. So it doesn't matter if he has hot lips or not. Maybe I should put some lipstick on Abe and slab it anyway. Thanks for the input. Report this Post to the Staff
