You can clean tarnished coins by putting them in Coke. It takes about 12-15 hours for the tarnish to be cleaned. This does take some of surface off and could a coin grade lower. Some of the finer features may disappear.

Does a penny dissolve in one week in a bottle of coke?
It takes around 1 to 2 weeks Yes, Coke will dissolve a penny, although I don't know how long it would take. The phospheric acid in Coke will connect to the copper in the penny and create copper or zinc phosphate (e.g. dissolve it). Here is an article about it: http://www.finishing.com/336/08.shtml

How do you clean a penny?
There is no real way to clean a penny. Believe me i just done this experiment and the myths about vinegar and baking soda and vinegar and salt and ketchup and hot sauce and lemon juice and salt DO NOT WORK. When i done the experiment i left them sitting over night nothing changed. The one thing that cleaned the penny the most was the lemon juice and salt and this is how that experiment goes.Step #1: Get a cup of lemon juice and add salt.Step #2: Spin the cup slowly to blend in the salt.Step #3: Add the penny and for three minutes spin the cup around.Step #4:Take the penny out and scrub it with a towel then wash it with cool water.Step #5:Enjoy a clean penny.Yes BUTTTTT ....NEVER, EVER try to clean RARE coins to make them "look better". Dumping a modern penny in Coke to see what happens is a good chemistry experiment, but don't try it with an Indian penny from your grandfather's coin collection because it'll go from being worth possibly several dollars as a collectible, down to only a cent or two as a damaged coin.
