How do I clean a mercury dime?

A question from a curious person about their Mercury Dimes:

I found a mercury dime from 1942 and I heard that mercury dimes from 1942 might be rare, because some are actually misprinted and from 1941. I want to sell the dime on eBay, and it would be worth more if it were clean. Does anybody know some good methods to clean mercury dimes?

I have a 1906 Mercury Dime?

A question from a curious person:

I have a 1906 dime I thought was a mercury but the profile is facing the opposite direction. It is silver I think and it clearly says one dime on the back and United tates of America on the front with the date of 1906. Thanks very much for any info at all :)
