PERFECT!
Don't do anything else.
Personally, I would slab the coin. Very likely, will come back in a details slab because of the scratch on the leg of the eagle.
But, don't let anybody kid you......every single person that posted and/or read this thread, would be SMILING EAR TO EAR if they found this coin.
Congratulations!!

Acloco, thanks, couldn't really see the scratch before the acetone,
I was grinning like crazy when I found it!

I think it will come back in a no problem slab. Seen coins with bigger issues in no problem slabs. Compare with this one.   |

Very nice, and I would keep that coin forever if it was me, as it is a find of a lifetime (mintage 208K!). Check ebay with a search like "1921 D half dollar details". You will get an idea of its value. |

Wonderful coin and wonderful results!
Should easily slab VF details at a minimum.
Congrats!

coin has great patina and has a good chance of getting a straight grade as others have indicated. I am at vf30.

 numismatic student, thanks , I'm hesitant to send it in, I took it to a coin shop while on vacation in Florida. I was offered 200$ for it, and if I hadn't rubbed the mint mark he said 400$. I'm curious what his thinking was on the offer  |

that the dealer wanted to pay as little as possible... this is the kind of coin that needs to wait for the right buyer.

I was really looking for an appraisal, he seemed interested only in an offer...It's going to stay in my collection...

It's a good lesson for you. As anxious as a digger is to look at that coin he just dug up, he needs to wait and soak it. Rubbing kills the value every time. Seen it over and over here.
