Man those are corrodded! I don't know where I've read it before here...

but...

I've been reading that sticking the pennies in a potato cleans them up good... use your Charter Member super powers and check it out on the Search Option...

I'd go with the hot peroxide method

For coins in that shape they will have to soak a long long time in olive oil. Try the hot peroxide after you wash all the oil off of them. And if that don't work there is still a few other things you can try. Good luck

I use the potato method all the time. Just make sure to remove them and rinse them off daily and then when you are done rub a little beeswax on the coins to help shine them up. With a coin like that it will probably take several days.
