Two georgetowns are 1964 canoe 1965 1980 50 cents 1964 1978
These coins are in near mint condition despite what picture shows doesn't need a polish just wiped off with a wet paper towel as it's just some kind of funk on the coins.

Those should all be silver and worth quite a bit more than face value. I also would not wipe them with a paper towel. There is no chance it improves value and there are lots of cases where it hurts.

80% silver, except for the '78

Awesome guys thanks so much for the quick replies! Seems like I made a good decision for once haha

Yepper, contrary to what you may think, you don't "polish" coins. It ruins their value.

didn't mean to actually polish I remember the coins from when I was younger they were immaculate...just so happened was garage sale hunting and happened to be a old friend from high school
Was thinking a lot of what's on there is tobacco tar and could just with water and paper towel get the gunk out of the corners while being very gentle not to scratch/ding the coin.
So no to even doing that little?

Thanks for the help

No to doing that little. Best bet is a soak in acetone. Soak a toothpick in distilled water. That will soften the wood to prevent scratching. Rinse with distilled water and pat dry. No rubbing! Some people will say this is extreme, but why make a coin grade lower than it already is?
