You do find the oldies but they sure take a beating too, from the sand, rocks and salt water! 
Possibly more salt added to the pits when cleaning....hope I did not mislead you in how to clean the older ones! :sad:
God Bless!

You are welcome, Lorraine! One of our club members who hunted a lot, brought in some nickels that he found to buy raffling tickets with at our meeting. Liz, who sells the tickets for the club, and I asked how he got them so nice, for they looked just like the ones circulating in change! He told us to use vinegar and salt and soak them in it and then be sure to rinse and dry them really well or they would corrode! I learned by experimenting about how long to leave certain nickels in the solution depending on how dark and dirty they were! I do quarters and dimes this way too! But like I said if they are really old and/or rare don't clean them at all....let a professional do it! But I haven't found anything that valuable, so no worry on my end! 
God Bless!
