Buy yourself a rock tumbler. Tumble pennies by them selves. Put in some beach sand or small beach rocks. Fill 1/2 with water and add a squirt of dish detetgent. Add coins. Tumble for about 2 hrs, empty dirty water and refill with fresh water, detetgent and tumble again for about 3 hrs. This should get most of that green crud off. Do not tumble any valuable coins. If your finding clad coins with green crud on them ( we call them greenies down here in S. Fl. ) your in a good spot and work it. Should get a couple of pieces of gold from that spot. There are other mixing soluations but this is the easys I've found....HH....John
