    Works for me, and you probably shouldn't feel too bad about them.
    It's hard for you to do much more damage to them than has already
    been done.  On the odd chance that there was something interesting
    and rare in there, you'd be best served to try not to disturb the
    patina. Bronze coins are susceptible to a "rot" that will, over time,
    eat the coin up.
