Trying to clean dug up wheat cents is an impossible task if you want them to be collectible .but if you just want to be able to read dates and mint marks and then throw them in your junk box, you can try these different methods : a soaking in vinegar & peroxide, a soaking in Verdi-Care, a soaking in olive oil , or if you really want to get down and dirty :rub a paste of baking soda and water on the coin, then rinse with fresh water.
