Give them some more each coin needs one.

I'm sure some company would pay big $$ for the rights to image those coins, if they're not already socked away.

That be said, they really should be imaged. Of course my vote would be PCGS and I hope they offer their services. Maybe encapsulation as well
for preservation and if needed professional conservation. It would be good PR, good for the coins, and good for the people who open the box again someday.

Some of that copper needs "a good brushing".

FWIW - The Boston Museum of Fine Arts (MFA) appears to be the conservators of "objects" related to the time capsule -

"The MFA’s Department of Conservation consists of 34 conservators and scientists who examine and treat thousands of objects each year—including paintings, sculpture, furniture, works on paper, textiles and coins."

I'm going with no PCGS restoration service for the time capsule coins.
