Advice needed for conservation of 1793 chain cent
Found a 1793 chain cent while metal detecting today. I haven't even removed the dirt because I didn't want to mess it up in any way.
After some research online, I was considering sending in to NGC or PCGS for restoration, but looking for advice on which one is a better for something this, or maybe some other option I'm not considering.
Sorry the picture isn't great - best I could do with what I had. The back side is so covered in dirt I can't make out anything, but I am sure this is a chain cent and not a wreath cent.
