Most good coins come out of the ground as recognizable good coins said:

I respectfully disagree.......Most good bronze coins, ie the ones we drool over come out of the ground almost unrecognisable, usually encrusted with hoard deposit, where copper oxides have leached from coins and stuck to neighbouring coins. Specific cleaning methods work for these bronze coins and the results are almost always very good, unless the metal is porous or of poor quality, ie. the alloy.
average coins can be recognisable, but seldom clean up as well as the really crusty hoard coins as the oxide layer protects the coin.
