| | Coca Cola will ruin their value- acid in the Coke. The really old ones it is best to leave them "as is" to retain their value. |

| | Yep - you gotta rinse the coins in fresh H2O afterwards and remember not to drink the leftover Coke cause you could get copper poisoning or something - umm- maybe Seriously though, as Hopalong said I would leave them untouched as they may be more valuable as is. If you do want to clean them up I would contact a coin dealer first of all and ask what is the best way to do so. |

| | I would leave them as is. If they have any collectible value you could ruin that. You don't want to say later "This penny was worth $50 until I cleaned it".  |
