i am very knowledgable, (i think i ripped it up too lol) in the subject, actually this is the first time anyone's ever asked a question on here, aside from weed that i know so much about. i wouldn't mind, but like i said i'd need pictures too so i could determine the condition (unless you know how to grade them). compared to most collectors out there i'm a noob, but i've been doing this since i was about 11-12... coins always fascinated me, so much history, i wish i could hold a coin, and just see it's history, who it's been wtih, what they did ect... see how coins 'travel' it's just perplexing and amazing to me... but i wouldn't mind giving you a rough estimate of your coins worth... and almost always the longer you hold on to it, the more it becomes worth, that's another factor... it's almost the only thing that can garuntee you will get more worth back then you put into it.

decimated it, completely it was completely worthless afterwards... it was only worth 10 dollars because of the condition it was in, you'll find alot of coins aren't worth anything at all unless they're in near perfect condition. and i know they show the commercial cleaning a coin, but that's because coins get so dirty, they want to advertise how much tarnish it can actually eat off... but that's the bad part, it EATS it off...
