I'm a metal detectorist found the coin this Friday. It' an Oak Tree Two Pence. Being a dug very old coin I need to dab with bottled drinking wat just to see details to ID the coin. Nothing else was done to it. I want to know if it can or should be professionally cleaned and if I should get it certified and slabbed?

i'm a little skeptical. None of what you're saying but even if you dug it up it's not necessarily authentic and dating to the period. It does need attribution and conservation and you want to have that done properly. Where are you located? I suggest you drop me a text at 649-3317, area code 914.
