Got out with some buddies today and this seated half came out of the hole, but wow, look at the condition. Amazing detail. Wasn't very deep but most of the targets were shallow on this hard pack, desert like sand. 12-47 on the CTX3030. I would usually be tempted to hit it with a little baking powder but I actually like the toning on it.

WOW WOW WOW
Congrats on a very hard to find coin.
If you going to bother having it professionally cleaned and graded,, send it to PCGS. Their grade is Gospel, and worth every bit of the cost.
Nobody who is Anybody will contest PCGS'S grade.

Bet you're glad you didn't hit that with the shovel! Beautiful coin.

That is the reason I don't like popping them out with a screwdriver unless I'm in a tot lot.

Cleaning should be off your list. Maybe some Distilled water Then maybe a Micro Cloth liked used for cleaning a Camera Lens. Thanks for sharing--goldnugget--Charlotte,N.C.

What a beauty! Love the toning on the coin and it's one that really stands out. Perfect looking and say the heck with the cleaning by anyone. Congrats on the this one!
