    This is my oldest coin. I was wondering its value and if I should try to clean it up? Sorry for the pics but it's the best I could do with my phone. Thanks in advance.

    Don't clean it, and only touch it on the edges - put it in a 2x2 :)

    Rule #1 of coins is to never clean them.

    It's also worth about $2

    Well its only a dollar, I would recommend buying a Red Book, it has prices for pretty much all U.S. coins, although the ones made of precious metals are usually inaccurate due to changing metal prices
