Leave the patina like it is. With myself also being a detectorist, I want to leave the ground's patina on my coin, only washing off the loose dirt on the coin. A great find though. I still have yet to find silver, but I need more sites to go.
Gray find! Looks like it was lost in its early life, but also doesn't look like it was in the ground too long. I wonder if a collector lost it somehow, naw. I would never loose a coin like that. .:)
