What is involved in getting a coin slabbed?

[Kieth-Tx]

Here is a coin I found that I really like and would like to protect. Should I get it cleaned? And what is involved in slabbing a coin and what about cost?

I think just a regular 2x2 would do the job.

If it's silver, and soap and water won't remove the stain, lemon juice most likely will with no risk to the coin other than making it look shiny and new.

A+ for not cleaning it before asking~

Man that is one sweet looking peso!!!!! I would just get the little single coin folders and put it in there like Iron Patch says.........That is what I do and it is alot cheaper than spending 48.00 too............You can pick them up at a coin shop or if there is a hobby lobby center in your area, Tim
