    Break the coins out and give them a long soak in acetone.

    Most of that stuff is beyond salvage truthfully. Proof Sets have an extremely small following and those that collect them insist on beautiful high quality coins. They are so plentiful that coins like the ones pictured have basically no demand.

    The 1994 silver proof set will always have value for the dime, quarter and half, but only as silver.

    I hope that wasn’t too brutal. I only meant it to be truthful.

    Wow, what a pity. Break them out and salvage what you can. Spend the ones that are corroded.

    send all but the silver into the wild and some future roll searcher can have a thrill finding an impaired proof....

    yes, and now that you've seen them, you can tell them exactly what they have an where they came from...

    That is just painful to see. However if they were given to you I would say it was a kind gesture anyway.... I don't have anything useful to add to what has already been said above.
     
  14. I totally agree it's very painful. Had a major flood here in baton rouge last year that's when the sets got ruined
