Of course I understand collecting, and I never tell anyone what they should or should not collect. I said "TO ME" they are just 3 ounces of silver.
I like it. But I doubt it can be conserved. It's a cool find.
Black Beauty was a horse.
I don't think there are professional cleaning services for coins. There is a degree of conservation that experts can do, but a coin that may have...
