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!

What is the coin with a 1877 Indian on one side and a buffalo on the other it is made of silver?

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
