Found my first 1923-S RARER Peace Dollar today... any suggestions on cleaning it ?

[ARC]

Tis in good condition...
just tarnished really good.
I do not wanna tarnex it for it could be worth a few bucks.
And I do not wanna polish... or use electro.

Suggestions ?
this will not be a "keeper" for me and will sell it ... but wondering if it should be cleaned and the best way to do it for sale.

In great condition these can bring over a grand... and up to 5 I have seen online.
Even in crappy condition it seems they are pulling 50ish bucks...
IT is the S which is the rarer one

Will post pics AFTER cleaned.

Um... do a searchfor 1923 "S" in perfect condition... heh
Where did you get this info ?> ?

Here ...
Type: Peace Dollar
Year: 1923
Mint Mark: S
Face Value: 1.00 USD
Total Produced: 19,020,000 [?]
Silver Content: 90%
Silver Weight: .7735 oz.
Silver Melt: $12.85
Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in poor condition will be valued at somewhere around $28, while one in "perfect" condition can bring $5000.00. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say poor, we mean worn more than would be expected from a coin in this age, and perfect meaning it looks "perfect" without flaw and possibly even certified. [?].

Cointrackers is a little off on those numbers of 5000 in perfect condition. Believe me never a buyer at those prices. Real coin buyers rely on something called the greysheet. Every dealer I've dealt with used that for values. Great looking coin. Good find man! I'm new to metal detecting but I used to buy and sell rare coins. I can't wait to dig up some large silver like that!

You can clean it naturally, but all it will do is remove the dirt.
Use a sonic jewelry cleaner with JUST distilled water in it.
No detergents!
You can see my before and after picks for my 1909 s vdb.
It will not kill any patina.
If you want to remove tarnish and the coin is not valueable,
IBoil water in microwave or tea kettle. Put a piece of foil in the bottom of a plastic.trayit.Pour water over foil, drop coin in. Don't mix metals here. Mainly just good for silver. Add
Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda on top of coin until covere
Let cool. Take out, cover with baking soda and rub the tarnish
right off. Rinse with water.

A good wire brush will remove that tarnish .. No matter how many times this question is posted, they still attract stupid ways of cleaning a silver coin.
