Had an awesome day! My sister let me hunt her 1921 home and I found my first wheat penny. Actually, found 3 of them. All are 1944. I also found what I believe is an aluminum tolken. It's got a scalloped edge. It says R.R. Roberts and appears to be a cigar token. My question is: How do I clean the corrosion off of it without messing it up. I'm positive it is aluminum. I used a toothbrush, which worked for most of it, but there is some really hard corrosion that just doesn't seem to want to come off.
Any suggestions?????? Soak it in something?

SOS pad works great
 

I just soaked one in lemon juice and most of the crud came off.
 

After more scrubbing it appears to be a 5 cent token for Sight Draft Cigars . Anyone ever heard of that?
 

There is a token forum. You might want to ask there.
 

Thanks
