    That is one beautiful Cartwheel my friend!

    Would I clean it? NO NO NO!

    But then I'm weird.

    If you clean this coin it will never again be a 100% dug treasure find. You will have lost a century of history and one day you'll be sorry.

    That green is very delicate and is itself a work of nature's art.

    That's my -2 cents worth.

    Decided to keep it with the patina...just gave it a delicate brushing to remove the dirt.

    Good move. In the long run you'll like it better.

    You can always clean it later but you can never put that patina back on.
