depends on the age of coin( mainly whether or not key date or clad) and what is all over it. Pic would be nice.

It's just clad from the ground but little girls would like to see it clean.

I use a rock tumbler. I fill it about 2/3 full of coins, then fill with tap water. Usually 6 to10 hours of tumbling will do it.
Seperate the copper coins from the others or the clad coins and nickels will turn orange.
Don't attempt to clean collectible coins!!!
Use this method only on spendable coins.
Good luck.

You could try freezing it in distilled water and then break it out of the ice. Repeat until as clean as the ice can make it. Some museums do this to clean specimens.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family Anatidae on our hands.

Just leave in a pocket and run through washer and dryer. Clads look good as new or as best you can make them.

Mixture of baking soda and water works pretty well...make a paste, rub it in and wipe it off...not too bad...Shorty
