I found a shield nickle, 3 IH pennies and an 1875 seated liberty dime this weekend...how do i clean the pennies and nickle (not doing anythign to the silver)? The dates are 1899, 1885 and 1862 and i cant read the date on the nickle. I've heard about soaking in olive oil..what does that do? 2 of the IH pennies are green..is it best to leave them green or clean? One last question and probably a stupid one, but....... the 1982 IH penny is bigger and thicker than the others...whats the deal with that?
