Have it slabbed along with the Mars dust & without any conservation. Of course, the slab should list the "Mars Rover" provenance.

 

Rats! All that dirt. Send it in for cleaning! A nice jeweler's cloth should clean it up nicely. Yup, nice and shinny.

 

So, is it safe to say that Abe was the first man on Mars?

 

Boy, that coin is FAR OUT!

 

I hate to say it, but with that much crust you'd probably have to take some steal wool to it.......then a few hits with a hammer to smooth out the hairlines caused by the steel wool.

 

Sounds like a plan.
A ton of elbow grease & it'll be like new.
