You're in good company, friend.
For what it's worth, I think you're a rich man :)

One thing I don't like about albums is they tell you what to buy. (What about the overdates? Doubled dies? The 3.5 legger?)
Personally, I'd upgrade 14-D & omit the 3-legger.
Ever consider older, shorter sets like V-nickels or either 3-cent series?

Yes, and it's a nice example.
But there are other overdates & DDs that aren't included in Danscos in general. Only ones that are popular (or were decades ago) are ever included.
If it weren't for Dansco & the Redbook, the 1955 DDO cent would sell for 10% of what it does now. Actually, anything added to the Redbook can expect a huge price bump...
This kind of stuff is one of the reasons I moved away from US coins.

VerdiCare was made for early coppers. It's a solvent that doesn't impact a coin's surfaces, and targets verdigris & 'gunk'. I have like eight bottles of it and have used it for over a decade.
You can get good results with many orgo solvents (e.g., acetone, xylene), but you want to limit exposure to these. Oh, and DON'T spill them on your desk.
I always stay away from acids. Even diluted acids like vinegar can impact the surface of the coin. There's probably an art to acid cleaning, but I just don't do it.
