Burned coins?

I bought a lot and the guy was wanting more than I wanted to pay so he throws these in to “sweeten the deal” I regarded them as scrap metal and didn’t even look at them at first, but they have grown on me. I was going to throw them into an ultrasonic and see if anything was salvageable but I kinda like the seriously bad patina. Also the large pockmarked coin is a silver US half dollar. My wife said it looks pretty cool and I should find someone who likes stuff like this.
What are your thoughts, is there a market for this “burnt collection”?
sadly there is a beautiful Arabic coin that has a big globe of silver melted to it not to mention a wheat penny solders to some Portuguese coin and an Anna with some silver melted to it as well. Any hope for these, does anyone have a way to electrolysis the silver off?

I have some coins like this some 10 pfennig etc and they have the same look.
Personally I like them but I'd like to know what it is.

Very nice types you got there, even if they're blackened. (is it actually burning that causes this effect?)

I'd definitely say your deal was sweetened, those Hong Kong types and the Arabic coin seem to be the jewel in the crown for me.

​yea, but they are pretty much ruined.... right?

I would think in their condition the value is already kinda ruined so if you actually cleaned them it wouldt really make a difference. There are quite a few that still look like they have decent details on them so maybe clean them and try some artificial toning ideas on them and see how that goes.

I depends on the price. If someone were selling such coins next door one by one and at low prices, then I would pick some.

​Define 'ruined', I'd be happy to receive them as a gift or on the side in a deal but I wouldn't pay anything out of my pocket for them.

What about this... (1990)

Now that you've mentioned it, I once ran into an ebay seller advertising damaged coins for those who collect them, the more damaged the higher his prices were, so it does appear to be a thing.. Sadly I forget what term that seller used to describe this collecting preference.

It's still a cool piece to have even if it is 'ruined', it's something of a cheap mini-collection of interest.

Lay them out in a sufficiently broad container so they don't overlap, cover them in olive oil and forget about them for a year or so. Maybe there's something salvageable.

​I meant the older Hong Kong types as what was attractive... e.g. 1935-1937 10 cents types are visible on the top of the photos posted by redsmithstudios... 1990 is a little too modern for me to overlook the damage.

Hello
I already introduced the coin here, I did not know it was in the fires until somebody confirmed that the consequences were a fire. The silver originated before melting, and the silver coin is permanently damaged and can not be saved. Ag - Melting point: 961.8 ° C -because it is a compound can begin this meal at 800° C
