Anyone know anything about rare coins?

[tootsie roll]

hi all,

First off, I just want to say that I bought a dimebag from a dude in the park today, for $10, and it was such shitty weed, that it barely got me high. It was green, no seeds at all, but it was just crappy weed.

Moving on...I found a US coin on the ground today, with Lincoln on it, from 1919. It's in very good shape, and with proper cleaning (I have no idea how), it would come out shiney as new. I was surprised when I saw it, and yes, I'm one of those people who pick change off the ground. I usually just toss it in the coin jar, but this time I put it away safely.

I was wondering if anyone had any idea if this coin is rare or not. I don't want to sell it, in fact, I want to hang onto it until 1919, when it's a hundred years old.

Any info would be helpful, and if no one knows, that's cool. I was just curious. :smokin:

What type coin is his? A dime? A mercury dime?
Just so you know, sometimes it is better to NOT clean them. Some dealers like them aged and they can always clean it if they want to.
Now, if this is for you personally to have and keep, you could try Tarnex. (it smells bad tho)
