They look too far gone to be helped. Are they copper or zinc? I'd check for key dates and major doubled dies (if they are still visible). Roll up the ones you don't want and deposit them. Or, if you're feeling curious, you can try cleaning them with unusual methods.

AH; HMM- all I can say is you got some mess there. not much you can do.
the silver coins should be ok. maybe just an acetone bath.

The coins seen so far are gone ... hopeful the dollars will be better preserved.

In a case like this, I wonder if Verdi-care can do anything? Can't wait to see how the silver dollar turns out!

this is only 1/4 of the original box and the coppers on the pictures are on the teen's from 1910 to 1919 with mint marks, and 20's on the group. I have not found a 1922 or a 1914 yet.   |

Well the 200 morgans and Peace dollars have got to be worth something. Take your time and look at each one carefully. And post some pics. |
