You did a great job. Some people don't think you should ever touch/clean a coin. Those people are just plain wrong. This coin was the perfect example. $36 bucks bought a pretty bad looking coin. The value of that coin has at the very least remained $36 if not gone up $1.

I am usually in the "leave it alone" camp, but in this case, you made lemonade from a lemon. Sometimes we just want to experiment and I say good job. Since it is for your album, your opinion of the coin is the only one that matters.

I am not somebody who cleans every coin either. I wanted a decent example of a Seated Liberty quarter with the motto, and this certainly qualifies to me. There are coins in the 7070 album that are going to set me back a bit...and this issue didn't need to be one of them.

I just saw an ended auction for a "cleaned" 1876-S, and it brought 71 dollars...so I think I'm OK. I couldn't find anything that didn't look like the "Pillsbury doughboy" or "Casper" for 36.00. That reverse will tone down. I may leave it sit on the upstairs window sill that gets the morning light for a while. I'm still waiting for my album to arrive anyway. I have a lot of the coins for it already, probably over half, and they all currently reside in airtites.
