The photo at the top is what I need I.D., I'm not a coin person.
this coin as roman numbers III on back,a lady with a crown or somethig and the date is I belive 1865. It is hard to tell due to the burn marks. Any idea on how to clean them would be great.

nice mix of finds. That soil was good to those coins... exceptionally rare to see them come out that clean. Nice haul.
I cleaned them the best I could has soon has I got home with silver cream and a gen. cleaner. I could not make out the 3 cent pc. so i wanted to know what it was, still had never seen a 3 cent pc. They where in a lot of charcoal, trash and rotting wood.
 

DO NOT CLEAN THEM!! That is how older coins lose their numismatic value.
