I use a can of compressed air to blow off the coins, but there are all sorts of flaws and crap that remain, regardless. So I remove most of the flaws in editing.
This image shows one of the worst coins and most successful edits. It's tedious, but I use Windoze Paint's eyedropper and brush tools extensively to get surrounding colors and then paint over the offending areas while zoomed in 2x. Pic related points out the tools I almost exclusively use.
Yeah - it's a labour of love.
One trick in shaded (non-black) areas - don't make it perfect. It'll end up looking like a cartoon. Just take out the really bad stuff, and only the pixels.
