ijn1944 Bedrock of the Community United States 19155 Posts	Posted 03/11/2023 6:53 pm The '61 Lincoln Cent was not a clad coin. Difficult to determine given the images posted, but you may be dealing with a staining or localized discoloration/toning instance, caused by an environmental agent. Report this Post to the Staff
