He says the coins are Tang Dynasty China bronze cash coins. The picture on the paper he gave me doesn't quite match what he actually gave me. The other two have stuff from the ocean all over them and I can't see the markings. Any suggestions on how to clean these coins so that I can see the markings and truly find out the information about them?

Beautiful 221 B.C Egyptian coin, Who cares about the price in the market since is an archaeological artifact that should be studied?. With a nice Coca cola bath I was able to see "shiny" details once lost in the disgusting patina. Now after cleaning it with enough solvents and chemicals goes shiny to the museum...
