I would leave it alone. But if it bothers you and it is just bullion, you can dip it (e-Z-est).

My opinion: Lemon Juice is high in Citric Acid. Therefore, it will damage your coins. It will indeed remove tarnish,
but not a preferred method.
Just so's ya knows.

If you're going to ruin it just get some Tarn-X or similar silver polish. If it works on your silverware it will work on this. I wouldn't mess with any of the "home remedies."
