<p>[QUOTE="john41, post: 2260763, member: 56428"]Being that it is a steel cent with most of the zinc coating missing with rust started on the surface, you could get some of the jelly rust remover from the auto parts store and put that on the coin for a little bit. It will clean up the coin, remove the remaining zinc and restore some of the devices slightly. This also works on dateless Buffalo nickels instead of nic-a-date. As to your question mark it is a 43 Lincoln cent not a 44 and as such is only worth face value.</p><p> I hope this helps, John.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
