Answer #1

never clean a collectable coin. take the coin to a dealer in the exact shape they are in and the dealer will guide you what to do. However, I highly doubt you have anything valuable so if you want to clean your little pennies that was minted in 2005. Go ahead and use baking soda.

Answer #2

Are these collectors coins?

You have to go by what they are made of…

Copper - a paste of salt, white vinegar, and flour Silver - use aluminum foil, hot water, baking soda, and salt in a pan Nickel - warm soapy water and a toothbrush

Answer #3

I heard vinegar cleans pennies
