its silver........the tarnish isnt dirt and to keep the value of the coin....you dont want to remove it. If your keeping the coin and want a brilliant shine in seconds. Do the aluminum foil, baking soda, and boiling water thing. The second you drop it in, you'lll have a shine like you wont believe. I only do that with jewelry, hardly ever coins. If its dirty (with dirt) take a coffee cup and fill the bottom about 1 inch deep with hydrogen peroxice and microwave it for 30 seconds so it boils and drop the coin in and let it sit a couple hours. Repeat as necessary and do a rinse and soak a couple times in boiling water when your done. NO trace of chemical cleaning left over, and your coin quadriples in value by keeping the tarnish. You want an old coin to look like an old coin right? Just a clean old coin? Before you remove the tarnish......go to a numismatic site and read about cleaning coins. Here is a good site for coins in general

The values displayed are what you can expect to sell your coin for, not its actual value. Keep in mind......the numismatic sites arent taking into account a coin thats been buried for 100+ years when there talking about cleaning. This site has LOTS of great threads on how to clean coins, read them, and if you have a question AFTER youve studied them. Hit us up, were here to help.
