Also, weigh the coin and post the weight here. A pre-1982 Lincoln Cent should weigh 3.11 grams and a post-1982 Cent should weigh 2.5 grams. If it weighs close to 3.11 grams, then it is a Copper cent and if the latter, then it is probably Copper plated Zinc. The main thing is to determine if the Cent is Copper or Copper plated Zinc which would help determine if the Obverse is missing because it was not struck or if someone ground or sanded the Obverse details away. Also, could you provide a closeup of the Obverse side and crop out any background?? This would help more in an assessment!
