Since it's been cleaned, you might as well keep it.

Even though you may have lost a lot of money by cleaning it yourself and with all things, oven cleaner. Put it in a bath of baking soda, so to stop any more action from the acids that were in the oven cleaner. Not to long just a 1/2 hour should do it, then rinse with water and pat dry. There are 3 coins it could be with that date. One is the Half Cent and there are 2 varieties of cent. One has a period after Massachusetts the other one has no period. Value depends on condition. You need to see a colonial coin dealer. it should be worth at least $50.00 in poor shape. Lots more in better grades.
