grospoisson Pillar of the Community United States 984 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 12:10 pm Is this coin woth saving? I tried with Q-tip and acetone actually got some of it off. Doesn't look nearly as cleaned with naked eye. Dark areas around letters and wheat stalks are signs of being cleaned in the past/ I had this coin for around 15 years and only recently tried to get the junk off the front. Very good or f-12 if it could get a straight grade? Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 12:14 pm I'd say F details (environmental damage). Guessing this is beyond any potential restoration. Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7618 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 12:57 pm Yep, environmental damage of some sort. Would be close to fine condition, otherwise. It's 113 years old. Bad things happen to good coins over time. Maybe some Verdicare, Blue Ribbon or Coin Care might mitigate any further damage but most of that stuff is hard to come by. Report this Post to the Staff

BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19949 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 2:27 pm F-12, doesn't appear to be corrosion to me, looks like just some toning and gunk from being circulated. There is nothing you can do to "help" this coin, best left alone IMO. Lincoln Cent Lover! VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/ Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 4:23 pm F-12 seems about right . A little environmental issue , not sure if it will detail the coin . Yes keep it . Report this Post to the Staff
KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 02/13/2022 4:48 pm It's an 09-S, so yes, a keeper despite what I consider a fairly minor stain. F12 looks reasonable as a grade. Hole filler at a minimum all day long. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!) Report this Post to the Staff
