79 Lincoln

Does this Cent look market acceptible?
Does it look like it had a restoration, attempt at a restoration?
You folks decide.

Absolutely acceptable for $0.01 in trade...

 

Ditto; good for 1 Cent in trade or deposit at a bank.

 

If in doubt just switch it for another penny in the need a penny, leave a penny tray at the register of your local convenience store.

 

Great images.

 

Thanks for the compliments.

So, what if I told you that this coin spent 2 summers in my greenhouse?
I pulled it out a while back gave it a water soak then forgot about it.
I applied something to the surface that cleaned the surfaces. Followed by 2 distilled water soaks and light q tip rolls.
Sorry for not having an obverse photo I screwed up and the exposure went to auto.
Here is a good look at the reverse. before application.

 

Well, I guess it's too modern to tell.
Yeah, 75 thru 79 Lincolns are pretty blah.
I was hoping for an honest opinion from ya'll about being market acceptable.

 

Good for token, good for 1 cent

 

I think your treatment was very good. Wish you had a "before" photo though.

 

I do too.
