What is the best way to clean wheat pennies? Last night I found a wheat penny that looked like AU but it had a stain. It had lots of details on lincoln and the wheat.

Yep. That would not grade.Also, I ran a morgan I bought under some water, and rubbed my thumb, and got most of the black off - was that bad? <--- serious question
How would you reccomend cleaning a penny which isn't worth anything? I have a wheat that is completely covered in this blue-green rust like material. The front is completely covered, to the point that its difficult to even tell that lincoln is on the front, nevermind get a date. The only way I could tell it was a wheat is that enough of the back is readable that I could make out the location of 'one' in one cent and knew just from that, that it was a wheat
really?? water, and a thumb?
Water is okay, but not your thumb. Use cotton gloves or a soft cloth with mild soap.
That's not okay either. If you don't know specifics on different cleaning techniques and what it does to coins, dont mess around with them.
Wrong again. That is acceptable on ancients and not much else.I heard form local coin shop to use olive oil because its all natural. They said they do that to there coins that are valuable . They also said ot doesn't hurt the value.
