I purchased a 1894 2 Filler Hungarian and there is some green gunk on it. Is this bronze disease?

It looks like it is. Try Verdi-Care: http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pro...di-care.html

It has worked well on copper/bronze/brass coins for me.

also known as "Green Disease", or "Coin Cancer".
pending whichever therapeutic regime you choose, you ought to quarantine any affected coins.
Maybe Green Disease is spread by contact, and maybe not, but until that question is resolved, you ought to separate it from the herd.
