The best thing you can do is to learn from your mistake and not make it again. Examine any and all coins very closely before buying them. And if you forget and leave your loupe or glass at home - then don't buy any. But should you make such a mistake, you can try to rinse the coin in acetone and hope it removes any fingerprints.
