Buffalo Nickel found suggestions on how to clean?

[RKDbuyer]

Found a buffalo nickel and it is "tarnished". Dug at 7" in between two big roots. Almost gave up
Found several cald coins and new pennies. Any suggestions on how to clean the old nickel?

Don't clean it! Clean the dirt off and enjoy it. Cleaning it ruins any value it has.

here is an article i wrote that explains all my coin cleaning methods....unless a nickel is a key date, a dug nickel has very little value, clean it to your liking.

Great article. Thanks for sharing...
I have to agree, a dug coin falls under a different category. Clean and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
