No, you do not clean coins. Cleaning coins will only damage their value. If you feel you must clean a coin, take it to a coin dealer and see what he recommends to clean the coin, however, they will recommend you not to clean it. Coins potentially worth hundreds of dollars have been brought down to selling them for scrap because people have cleaned them! Do not clean coins!
A silver polish or liquid cleaner that is made for silver products. Some others use wax.
A very effective and cheap way to clean silver is to use toothpaste. Literally, toothpaste. Toothpaste is made to get rid of plaque and unwanted bacteria/germs. this is why it is used to clean silver well.
You can polish it or use a silver cleaning machine to do the job.
Silver is a valuable commodity and if it is made into silver objects, these may be antique. Cleaning silver objects should only be done with mild silver cleaning products made and sold for the purpose. If you use abrasive household products, you could damage the object and reduce its value.
yes, you can, it won't make a difference.

The short answer is, do not clean your coins.WARNING - There is no way you can clean a coin without damaging the finish and reducing or eliminating any collector value it may have.If your coin has any collector value or you propose to sell it, you will damage the finish or lustre of the coin by cleaning it.The British 1942 Florin has a 50% silver content. Some coin catalogues suggest that you might use soap and water very carefully on silver coins or, that there are professionals capable of cleaning coins.If your coin has no collector value and you would just like to clean the crud off and make it shiny again, use a jewellery cleaner (which contains acid).
No it's 90% silver and 10% copper with out the copper the coin would be to soft to use
No.
Half dollars were never made of solid silver. It's far too soft to use in a circulating coin. US halves were made of 90% silver up till 1964, and 40% silver from 1965 to 1970. Please post a new question with the coin's date for more specific information.
Silver products can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Thus, to test a product whether it is made from pure silver, just use a soft eraser. If the item is made from silver, after using the eraser the item should be fine and no extra steps are necessary to clean it.
lemon juice will clean a coin great. But don't use it if the coin is valuable or collectible, that will lower the value. hope this helps. Brian

This isn't any standard US coin and I doubt if many other countries use either of these symbols. Can you tell us what other writing is on the coin - perhaps it says ".999 Silver"? It is a privately minted silver round. Its value is based only on the silver it contains -- about $18.00 as of mid-2008
