For the most part Bryan, no they don't. You might be able to improve them a little by soaking in olive oil but cleaning sometimes does more damage than good by destroying some of the details.

Very nice finds Bryan. Wait.....let me get my tissues to wipe my tears. No they don't come out very good at all, but still one heck of a find. I use "3 in one oil" and soak the nickels overnight and it seems to help out a little and sometimes I can see the date then. I can't wait to see them at the meeting. Hopefully you can come up with a date on the others.
OK, that does it.. I'm going detecting today!!!! HH to all, Nancy

either pass on nickel-like signals and just "silver shoot", of just not be all that excited about finding them. To be sure, I've found ugly nickels to good looking specimens at least 5-to-1 (when talking about Buffalo, 'V', and Shield varieties). As a matter of fact, at some sites where I might luck upon a Buffalo, or a similar ugly condition Indian Head cent, I will just concentrate on good copper 1
