Swear it must be Brasso, did wonders on military brass belt buckles, no scratches if buffed right.

No ...I did not use brasso.

It is an abrasive paste. That should be plainly obvious by the radical change in color after the coin is treated. Anyone who understands what fingerprints are on a coin would instinctively know that the only way to remove them is to literally strip metal from the coin.

Follow this advice at your peril; the numismatic value of the coins shown has been completely destroyed.
