<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 2719248, member: 77413&quot;]I took a chance and spent under $20 for this wreck of a coin, hoping to be able to conserve it a little and upgrade my set. I used distilled water, acetone, xylene, and VerdiCare. Since the coin was already damaged, I went ahead and gently massaged the surfaces with xylene-soaked Q-tips. I kept turning the cotton to avoid grinding dirt into the surface.</p><p><br /></p><p>I may have revealed some existing scratches, but I think the result is good enough for what I started with. It is replacing the pockmarked one (post <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-lincolns.192928/page-215#post-2642457" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-lincolns.192928/page-215#post-2642457">#4281</a>) in my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>I like the woody effect on the obverse. It is not just striped, but shows an actual 3-D curved wood-like structure above the date.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Vendor photo</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]615509[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Before</b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]615508[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>After</b></p><p>[ATTACH=full]615510[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Improvement is especially noticeable in the obverse motto, the fields to the left and right of the bust, all around the reverse rim, and of course in the green corrosion in ONE CENT.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
