    I got this in a lot of 10 uncleaned coins. I haven't touched it since getting it. No soaking in distilled water or anything. I was able to easily ID the coin and I don't think I see anything that screams "clean me!". What are your opinions? Should it still get a soak in distilled water? Or should I leave it as is?

    What's there to clean? Better leave it like it is, a nice little coin. Cleaning is risking to wear the patina off.

    That's what I was thinking. Not too bad for $2 :)

    Cleaning will produce nothing better than what you see now.

    No, it's fine. Further cleaning will be regretted.

    Be different. Most people stop cleaning shortly after they went too far. Stopping before you start is the right thing here.
