Don't use anything harsh that will further damage the surfaces. Don't use any sort of polish or cleaning methods intended for silverware or...
"FDC" covers a wide range of grades (translated to the American sheldon scale). What grade did PCGS call it?

I would think the best entry-level jobs for a person would be as an assistant at a coin shop (one that goes to plenty of shows). The show circuit...
