I'm in shock! Found today with my Fisher CZ-3D in an old football field. Sorry for the pic quality. I have not cleaned it, this is how it came out of the ground.

That is worth between $1500- $4500 and the US mint only made 264,000 of them and most are well circulated coins.
Yours is in much better condition than most that have been on ebay. Whatever you do..... DO NOT CLEAN IT. It will lower the existing value.

Since there are some nicks on the coin, if you were to send it to be "slabbed", I would send it to ANACS.

Anyone can send a coin in to them. Do a Google search for ANACS and download an application for submission form.
They will give it a grade. I have found that if a coin is slightly damaged... nicks or rim damage, PCGS won't give it a grade, but will authenticate it if genuine. ANACS will give it a grade or say, "VF details".
