There have been quite a few threads in the past where folks have suggested a good rub down with Bar Keepers Friend will help clean up old nickels. I tried it a while back and it didn't clean my nickle as quickly as some claim to have experienced, but it did work. I just used my fingers to rub it on the coin but I recall that it wasn't too kind to my skin. I got quite a bit of dryness on my palm and fingers, presumably from the acid in the chemical. I'd suggest that you wear gloves and/or use a toothbrush if you do try this method.
