Coins are valued based on multiple criteria. The most important factor would be the overall rarity of a specific coin, followed by the condition of the specific coin. The first step in determining the value of your coin is to identify what it is. Upon identifying the exact type of coin you have, one would want to then verify that it is in fact genuine, and not a counterfeit/copy. No single mintmark, or date is always rare, it is different for each year and location in which they were minted, along with the quality and grade of each coin.

You should NEVER clean your coins. Cleaning coins removes the originality of coins, hurting the value immensely. An experienced numismatic can often tell the difference when a coin has been cleaned. A coin that is toned dark is often worth more than one that is improperly cleaned to remove the tarnish/patina. Because condition plays such a large role in determining the value of a coin, do not clean them in any way, leave it to the experts.
