I'll drop it in hot soapy water until I see the date. If it's a good or rare date I'll soak some more. Rubbing will ruin a good coin and reduce it's value.

NEVER EVER rub silver, I just rinse mine with water, 99% of the time that will clean all dirt off, if you get a stained coin that is black or rusty then I use electrolysis for about a minute.

I use a wire brush... Just kidding as it requires very little attention...Soak in soapy water.

as CAREFULLY as you possibly can....i try to protect my silver finds in seperate baggies until i get home then rinse under warm water, one peice of grit and you'll mark/scratch the coin.

If its not worth more as a coin then its silver value I use baking soda and water. Makes it brand new... I would rather see the detail in my coins.... especially if the coin itself has no real value other then its silver content.

I know the right answer is never never clean it but.... I use a product called "Never Dull" it comes in a small Blue Can at the hardware store. But here's the key to this.... this product is soaked into cotton in the can. You tear a very small piece and use it on the coin a little at a time till your happy with it. You can determine how much you want as opposed to immersing it in liquid of any kind. I never clean them all the way. They look good with some of the black tarnish left on them for accents.
