Here’s my rule: If a penny is worth less than a stick of gum, clean it for fun. Hold a chemistry party. Make them rainbow-colored with heat. Stick them in Coke overnight and marvel at the goo. But if you suspect a penny is old, rare, or has a weird shape? Leave it in the jar. Wrap it in a tissue. Transfer it directly to a coin dealer, who will probably laugh at you but at least give you a professional opinion. Because in the end, the best way to clean a valuable penny is to not clean it at all. Just let it sit there, being grumpy and historic. That’s what true value looks like—crusty, unwashed, and worth a fortune.
