Man look at the condition that is in, unbelievable dude. I hope i can find one like that one day. Maybe some light toothpicking or cotton swab distilled water. Then perserve with vaseline oil. What a beauty. They're almost always toasted for me.

that one is perfect if you ask me, I wouldn't clean it.

Only thing I would recommend is sending it to a professional grading service and have them conserve it. Try ANACS.

If ANY cleaning, I would surely not do any more than Manknee described!! Then, GET THAT SUCKER GRADED!!

Great find!

IMHO do not clean the coin yourself; send off to be cleaned and graded by a professional service.
