DO NOT TRY TO CLEAN COINS! Cleaning any collectible coin with normal home cleaning products will damage the surface and reduce its collectible value significantly. About all you can safely do at home is to use a bit of distilled water and a soft cotton cloth to remove surface crud.

In years of collecting I've seen valuable coins reduced to being worth only their melt value because someone used a polishing agent to "spiff them up" or make them look pretty". So don't even try.
