How do you clean 1943 steel pennies?

The short answer is, Don't try. The reason 1943 cents tend to look crummy is that the zinc coating oxidizes and the underlying steel core rusts. Anything you have at home that could be used to clean them will only make the situation worse. At one time it was possible to buy "reprocessed" steel cents that been electrolyzed to remove some of the rust and then were replated with zinc. Unfortunately reprocessed cents are worth almost nothing because they're altered coins, plus they're obviously fake-looking. If you want a nice-looking one for your collection, prices for uncirculated steel cents are quite reasonable; you should be able to get one from a dealer for two to five bucks depending on its mint mark. If you're willing to settle for a circulated coin, these sell for as little as a quarter.
