Question
for got picture its Nancy
)
Hi Nancy, unfortunately a coin cleaned like that would only be worth its silver value, .7736 of an ounce of silver, currently about $14.
You might take it by a local coin shop for a first hand opinion: http://find.mapmuse.com/interest/coin_dealers .
Collector value of a coin depends on date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning as well as collector demand for it.
U.S. coin prices for ungraded coins: http://www.bestcoin.com/united-states-coin-pricing-guide.htm .
You might also try a library for a copy of the Guidebook of United States Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
