    There is nothing much you can do to them in my opinion. Copper is very difficult to work on. I don't think that there is anything that wrong with them anyway.

    The one on the left d looks harshly cleaned to me nothing to do about that. The weak d on the right has that green stuff around the devices anyway to take it off without having it turn pink.

    I don't think that would qualify as a weak D. They need to be so faint as to be barely visible.

    No weak D on the left. But the one on the right might be.

    Would be kinda cool to have coins in a progression from full D to no D,

    I agree with shamika, the one on the right might be a weak type. As for saving them the one on the left is too far gone. The right might be helped with an acetone wash but it will also turn the coin blue.
