Found a zinc 1959 mm(?) Lincoln Cent. What's going on here is not pretty. Caution.

Hey. I call um like I see um.
Found this dated coin and then I saw the rot. Weight, 2.5. Date 1959.
No photo stacking was applied to the photo's.
This should be interesting.
Whole coin photos, if needed, to come later.

What ?

You can say that again. 🧐
The question is, can the creeping crud be arrested and removed to reveal the date?

Just a thought or more like grabbing a straw if you will.
When a drawing was finished, in order to preserve its luster and overall sharpness, we were told that aerosol hair spray,... ( a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets in a gas form)
can be used to seal off any harmful reactions from penetrating the medium used.
Has this ever been tried on any types of a coin ?
After a warm water rinse.

Well, that's a 1993 or newer close AM reverse.
