1766 1/4 Stuber and 1925 E.Africa One Shilling - Yard Sale finds

[Diggincoinz]

Hi, I picked these two up yesterday at a yard sale. First is a 1766 1/4 Stuber, copper. It is about the size of a nickel. Paid $4. It's 244yrs old. How should I clean it a bit without losing any detials?

Next is a 1925 One Shilling from East Africa, silver, the size of a half dollar. Paid $15, a little pricey I think but I wanted it

What do you think? I'm trying to find info on these such as market value and mintage. Is there a good website to hit up to find info on world coins? Foreign coins have always been difficult for me to research.

Thanks, Chris

GULICH UND BERGISCHE LANDMUNZ would be the lettering around your (German State) 1/4 'stuber'.
This site is selling one for $22.50 in VF: http://allensinc.com/coins/world_coins/world_coins_german_states.htm
The coin may have been minted in Cologne.

Clean it the same as a dug one. (hydrogen peroxide)

You have to be pretty lucky to get a foreign copper of any value... so much common stuff out there.
