Great coin @galba68 - I'll bet it cleans up very well.

 

I agree. This should clean up very nice I believe.

 

Dang that is a good looking coin, even with all the dirt on it! Can't wait to see what she looks like cleaned up.

 

Very nice indeed! I wonder if it is one of these? I think yours will be a lot nicer than mine once you clean it up.

Looking forward to seeing how it cleans up.

 

Want to see it refreshed, nice coin, better than U.S. coins

 

Yep an excellent find!...Looks like it has a nice green patina too!
I hope you'll post it when cleaned up a bit...

 

I see quite a bit of detail there. Pretty sure this will end up being at least a nice VF coin.

 

That's a lovely exciting coin.

 

How lucky you are! Here's my humble example:

 

I really, really want to see this coin after a cleaning, even just a quick cleaning.
