Tips for cleaning a v-nickel?

[granthansen]

Hey all, I searched around a bit on the forum but haven't seen anything too definitive. I've got a rather work v-nickel. Just the crown outline is visible. However, I've had Indian Heads like this and after good cleaning details come out! I've seen mentions of naval/aluminum jelly working well... but no examples. Anyone got good tips?

Here's a pic of the front. Back is totally smooth/unrecognizable at this time.

Use running water and a makeup brush with the coin under the water use a stabbing motion with the brush to clean all the dirt off. Wrks awesome.
