Can anyone tell me anything about these? I think they are Chinese. How old are they? I really don't know anything about them so whatever you can tell me will be helpful!
Would a soak in olive oil do them any good?
I seem to remember them being from the Han Dynasty? Yes? No? Maybe?

Due to the heavy corrosion it is very difficult to give definite attributions but - the top left and bottom right coins have markings similar to low value coins of the Western Han Dynasty, 2nd Century BC to 1st Century AD.Top right may also be Western Han 175 - 119 BC. Bottom left is too far gone to even offer a guess!
Much better examples of these coins can be purchased quite inexpensively ($5.- to $10.-) from reputable dealers listed on:- http://www.vcoins.com
I don't believe soaking them in olive oil will help.
