Don't scrub or polish it with anything. Hold it by the edges and blast it with hard running water from the faucet--With the drain PLUGGED.

THAT IS ONE HECK OF A COIN!


Looks like it will grade F or VF.


:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o
 

Congratulations that is the one we're all looking for
 

Wow!
Don't do anything to it
Place it only on a soft surface like a towel-handle it only by the edge, and as little as possible
Look into having it professionally cleaned and graded
I see diagonal bands- so I agree with BuckleBoy - looks like Fine or Very Fine grade=$$$$
That is a fantastic score. Congrats :hello2:
 

I live in Denver, and I can't find one of them thangs. Damn! Be real nice to it, that thing is worth some serious bucks! I salute you!
 

That is fantastic! And like the others, handle it by the edge and I would get that graded. Congrats! :thumbsup:
