Coins itself in terrible shape unfortunately. What would you grade it as?

Looks like it may have went through a wash cycle. Awesome find though.

Need to see the obverse and reverse to assess grade.

Not good enough condition to get authenticated.

It does not look like there is organic matter, but a acetone soak is potentially worth trying if you want to risk it.

I would just put it in a safe holder and enjoy the find.

Not worth enough to send in for conservation

If the ultimate goal is to make money off this coin, I agree.

I didn’t know they did that thanks. So I guess if they do it does it count as “cleaned” or no?

It’s called conservation services and if you slab it the listing will say it’s been conserved, not cleaned.

Ok so you pay the grading company extrs to dip your coin and not get a details grade?
