Andre's pencils are the best for cleaning Large Cents and Indian Head Pennies.

And do not clean any non dug cents. You can ruin their value. Most are best left alone. If you get a rare one, take it to a coin dealer for a look-see or go to one of the grading services and let them deal with it. I just sent in a very early US half cent to the grader because there is a chance it is worth a bunch, probably not, but I was not going to take a chance ruining it.
