Thank you, Ben for the reply. That helps a lot to know... especially considering my first coin is bronze piece. I read about the Renaissance Wax and want to get that to help with preservation. I'm sure it's not the end all, be all miracle protector.

Once you have seen many coins that have had an attempt at being cleaned in an electric bath, there is no mistaking them.
Personally, I would do what you can with a brass brush with these and then leave them with a coat of clear cherry shoe polish for a few days to help get rid of the 'dry' texture they have.
The cherry shoe polish is pretty much a match for the over rated renwax, but it is missing the perfume - it is a lot cheaper though.
The coins you have have defo been stuck in an electrolyses machine, over cooking always gives the same effect. Get some cherry on them and leave them a few days.
You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys.....
