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.

This draped bust silver dollar is so darn cool, one of if not the coolest one

I'll show you a few...

The only photos I have until she arrives, thinking about getting her graded, just won her at auction and wondering what you all would grade this at?? God bless everyone and have a blessed day!

These are the two coins I got from my father when I was 7 years old that started my collection. The Ike Dollar I used to scratch my back with it when I was a kid 😂😂😂 and my Buffalo Nickel I was sick when I could find my wallet because I always kept it in any wallet I had until now. I am thankful everyday that I have a love for coins because of my father. Sadly my father passed away 🕊️ in March 2020 but I know he would’ve been proud and happy that I continued to collect coins. Now this is a hobby I shared with my son even though he doesn’t care much about like myself at his age (8) he will learn in time🤟🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

Going through grandpas coin collection and these stood out! Let me know if I have anything special

I'm reaching out to the community and asking for advise on this Morgan Silver Dollar. It is a 1890cc with a nice rainbow tint around the edges on the front and back. Would anyone be willing to provide me with as much information on this coin. Thank you for your time in this matter. TODD.
