Carl, I don't know who told you to clean it. I never clean my tokens. If not done properly it can actually ruin them. Well ruin them as for value and eye appeal. If in cleaning the wrong product is used or even the right product but if wiped dry if the wrong towel or rag i used it can leave very fine scratches. If it had to be cleaned I would for sure leave that up to someone who knows what they are doing. Like maybe a jeweler.

Enjoy the collection and don't worry so much about the tarnish. Sort of like chips. Some collectors like to see the dirt as it tells a story in itself of all the players who have used that chip to make or loose their monthly rent.
