That's going to be one pricey coin if ever sold at auction, HUGE CONGRATS to your buddy! I would be shaking like a leaf as well if I had dug it. Have a few

Fantastic find, congratulations to your friend!

IMHO: Do not clean this coin in any way...ship it off to be graded and cleaned professionally if you want.

I agree with the others --no cleaning. A little dirt wont hurt anything, but a little cleaning may cost him thousands----Geat find

Picture sucks but looks more like an oak tree

 

[Underwonder]

I am in awe.....and jealous...more of finding such an iconic historical coin and less about the worth...but that doesn't hurt either!

Yeap, its got a big fresh scratch. That won't help the price much.
