Coin cleaning

[masonandbug]

Second day of MD and found a lot of coins. Some I.can't even see what they are. 1st question is what's the best way to clean them. Also how can I tell if they are worth more than face value. BTW I was at a local High School football field. School was built in the 30's. Thanks for the help.

Welcome to the TNet. This forum is more about Help associated with the use and functionality of TNet. You would have a better response in the Coins forum of TNet. What you'll need to do is soak the coins in water to loosen the dirt and crud. Don't scour or rub the dirt on the coins. Most of the dirt should break away. Once you are able to ascertain what you found, we can advise you further. Pics will help.
