    Wow...

    What did he bury the coins in? A tin or aluminum can?

    Rust? That's viridian and cobalt natural toning. Those coins are worth a premium.

    Not the best way to store coins really.

    Those look hopeless. Unload them when silver passes $14.

    Soak in CLR. It will remove the rust and not affect the silver. Been there. Mike

    CLR a good bet. Electrolysis would also work.

    That's an interesting story, I wonder why they buried them and how they had remembered 3 decades later.

    They could have been lost forever.
