The absolute worst thing that you could do to a coin is clean it! And if they were hidden, you might even have some serious money over there!

Steelwool? OUCH! The coins are bullion now and have no numismatic value. DO NOT DO THIS TO THE OTHER COINS! Collectors would rather have black coins than ones improperly cleaned.

Odd so many don't bother to welcome new members anymore.
STEEL WOOL? What grade was the steel wool? Not that it matters but there are numerous grades of steel wool yet none are specified for coin cleaning. Could have just as easily used a Brass Wire Wheel on a bench grinder.
I suggest you do a Search on the Search tab at the top for coin cleaning, Acetone, cleaning coins, etc. Should be lots of previous posts on all the goods and bads.
