Instructions
Handle coins by the edges to avoid putting fingerprints on the flat surfaces.
Avoid silver and other metal polishes - even jewelry polishes. They are much too harsh and will leave tiny scratches on the coin's surfaces.
Soak the coins in olive oil or soapy water for a few days and then rinse them well with clean water.
Try non-abrasive cleaners such as denatured or isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner (with water) if the soaking doesn't do the trick.
Blow dry or pat cleaned coins with a soft cloth, not tissues or paper towels.
Never rub the coin - unless it's your good luck charm.
