Found these "BU" 40 percenters today



Yes, I believe they would be "BUTT UGLY"! (can I say that)

I think that one of them might be a 1948 or a 1953 Franklin. Maybe I can get LJ to trade.

You know, come to think of it, I think the one in the lower left corner of the picture is only an "AU". You can figure out the meaning of that one for yourselves.

Soak them in warm (dish) soapy water. See if that doesn't improve things.

Those will clean up nicely, with a wire wheel.

I found about a dozen in a box one time that was probably twice as bad as those. I ran them thru my tumbler for two hours, and they looked really good after that. Just used water and pebbles.

I found some like that once. Lady at the bank told me they had come from a depositor down the street who had his house burn down. They were awful to deal with, wouldnt come clean for anything.
