very nice find! Good detail! I personally would use baking soda and a toothbrush to remove stuff around edges but I don't think you need to do anything to coin.

I Agree on using some hot water and dish soap. That one is already beautiful!

Wow, very nice condition 2-center you recovered. I'd either leave it alone cleaning-wise, or have a professional do it and grade it, but that's just me. With a condition that good, I would hate to do anything which might compromise the condition in any way.
