Pressed Pennies are how much?

Is there a way to clean the older pennies so that they look newer? Toothpaste on silver kind of thing?

I think a combination of salt and vinegar is the most popular way, though technique varies. Some people use ketchup, which I believe contains both salt and vinegar. We've combined salt and vinegar in a plastic container, added pennies and shook 'em up. They're cleaner but not like new brilliant.
