[QUOTE="Mikey Zee, post: 2213934, member: 72818"]Do post what you have and all the members here will help you to identify them or to at least offer reference points/sites to further attribute and research the coins... From past experience, all the suggestions posted about cleaning are the way to go... soaking and a soft/firm wire or nylon brush to remove the loosening 'crud'---but NEVER go further and remove the 'patina' or otherwise go to bare metal. Perhaps you will 'discover' one or two that we refer to as 'keepers' or perhaps not but it's an educational experience and sometimes a lot of fun with the detective work and also time-consuming and a bit frustrating at having so many extremely poor grade types, let alone blank corroded culls. Hey, MM, do you really want the culls??? I must have 50-100 of them still lying around some place from decades ago .... Send a stamped envelope and they're all yours!! LOL[/QUOTE]
