CTX3030,

Park Ranger and Pack Mule pouches by Freeloader!
Last weekend I found a key date Barber half.
I took it home, rinsed it in water and put it in olive oil where it remains.
The detail is good, but it came from a field that is next to Puget Sound. All coins pulled from this field have 'crud' on them.
My procedure is to determine the date and mint, and if not rare, I scrub them with salt to remove this material.
It does come off, but obviously damages value if the coin is rare.
I just want to remove it so that I can enjoy the coin, and see all the detail.
This one is different, so I am thinking of sending it in to be professionally cleaned and graded.
What do you think? See pics in this link.
