Fun find! Use the scale as suggested. And keep it as a pocket piece if you want. Carrying it will remove the loose debris and age more naturally.

Yes, leave it be - a great reminder of the day you found it.

My aunt found a 1908 O Barber quarter in a coinstar reject. I still haven't managed to pull a barber from circulation (quarter wise). I pulled a 1900 Barber dime in FR2 in my aunt's change bowl years back. It's so weird to think it's been 4 years that she's been gone. She had a long life, however, passed away a few weeks after her 90th birthday. She didn't know she had it in her bowl either - but why would she have? Regardless, pulled a 1916 Barber dime w/ G details late last year in a coinstar as well. Those are the only barbers I've found in circulation. Needless to say, great find! |

"Don't clean it or it will lose it's value". Come on folks... Like this coin isn't already suffering from pretty severe environmental damage. It isn't a very valuable coin to begin with.

Probably every coin from 1922 on has been cleaned in one way or another. The difference is. If you do it (properly) the grading service calls it cleaned if they find out. If THEY do it (using the same solution you do) it is called "restoring" for them. But like it was already stated by others, This coin is nice for one reason, it was free and its free silver!

Paul, you say this as though TPG's are the final authority in grading and we are all trying to appease them or something. A grade is a grade. Cleaned is cleaned. There ARE ways to properly clean a coin without damaging it. It is only considered "cleaned" when the coin has been altered from original in a way that detracts from it's appearance or has changed the surfaces. |

I'm just amazed that this was in a cash register and no one bothered with it and it wound up as change. Incredible.
