Lime Away for cleaning buffalos and v nickels
I know I saw a post that someone used Lime Away to get rid of the red of buffalo and V nickels. Can anyone help me find this post or know who it was that did it? The reason I ask is that I have a couple of buffalo nickels that are of no value...not much anyway...and they are theat dark brown/red color. If I remember the post correctly the Lime Away brought back the silver color.
Thanks.

Thank you, that's good to know about lime-away, nickels always seem to be the hardest to clean.

I tried it with a buffalo nickel...and one side turned out the appropriate color--but the other side was the color of Cotton Candy!
An irridescent PINK buffalo on the back of it. 
Hey you lime-away dudes--did I do something wrong?
