Make sure that if you post it somewhere to sell it, you take your pics head on,
no angle shots like you did the reverse. Also, rotate your pics, no buyer likes
to turn their heads sideways to try and orient the coin, like you did with the obverse.

I agree, I had a real problem with the attribution because of the tilt of the reverse. It distorts the alignment of all the diagnostic features.

that's a nice find. Unless you're starving and can't make rent this month, you should hold onto it. Think about what you have there; In the past 209 years, how many people used that to buy milk for their children or bread for their tables? How many kids had that rattling around in their piggy banks over 2 centuries? Did a President have that in his pocket at some point in time? You have a piece of history. To think you would trade it away for fake paper is scary especially a measly $120. Get it into a holder and enjoy it as a wonderful conversational piece with your family and friends for years to come.

And for all that is holy, DON'T CLEAN IT, as everyone has already told you.
