If it has sentimental value, leave it alone. If not, spend it.

Is this about the specific Presidential dollar you posted in another thread? I'm with jdub if it is, if it has some sentimental value to keep it but not clean it. If you like the coin but if that particular one is not of sentimental value to you, you can buy a much nicer uncirculated or mint state example for very low cost (just dont buy the very top graded ones) as cleaning it would not restore its worn areas. You can spend the poor quality example or feel free to use it for experimenting with cleaning, but many coins upon cleaning wrongly will be identified as cleaned if they were submitted to a grading service, and not worth anything more than face value. Perhaps its possible to clean some things without causing this problem, but to the novice its probably best avoided so that they wont kill any potential value by cleaning them unknowingly.
