I rub mine with a little bit of vaseline. Makes 'em looks nice.

Your first step is to remove all the the adhered dirt and gunk on your old cents, using water and a soft toothbrush. When all the dirt is gone from all the nooks and crannies on both sides of the coin, swab it with a light coating of olive oil which mimics the natural oils of the the body and you will see a coin with greater detail and  reflection.
