verdigris and cleaned coins?

[Mongo 1]

I grabbed a box full of coins yesterday from a second hand shop, I am just having a little sort through them, trying to learn what to look for.

Are the ones I have picked out here all showing verdigris and should be kept away from other coins?

Also the few at the bottom.. are they cleaned/polished? They look way to shiny to me.

Thanks azda! Im having fun, just found my first little "H" on a George V Penny

Hours of fun to be had sorting through boxes like that, Mongo! Especially if you know about the more obscure varieties. Most boxes will have been cherry picked for the obvious, but most cherry pickers won't know about the stuff they know about on here...

There sure is! I just identified a 1902 penny with a low tide too, tons to learn, but already enjoying my new hobby.
