Never thought Id ask this, help cleaning a coin?

Never thought I'd ask this, help cleaning a coin?

Just went for a short walk and got what I pretty much expected. But, when I got home I got a little surprise.




I can't convince Blingie that it's not some sort of body ring.



A tiny lead, um what? Button?



Someone said these were some sort of leather rivets, the last time.
I found 2 today and both still have some material on them. They are showing front and back.



I thought this was just another crudded up nickle until I knocked the top layer of dirt off.
If you look really carefully, you can see there appears to be quite a bit of detail left, under the crud.
I can even see the beginnings of a date, lower left.



The back shows some detail too.

I've not had much success cleaning nickles. I've heard, Ketchup, Soy sauce, Vinegar, Mustard, (hmmmmmm I'm getting hungry! LOL ).

Any thoughts after looking at this poor little nickle? I'd like to make his retirement happy.

Thanks for peeking!
HH!

I think it looks cool now! Those pits just show that he's been through hard times. Congrats on cleaning that up, and on the rest of your finds! HH!
