I'm finding coins that went through a house fire .... badly burned/damaged. I used a silver cleaning solution that worked a bit on some other coins like it ... this is as far as I am so far in even trying to tell what it is\

anybody ?

Mexican something for sure. I can see enough the word unidos to be sure that's there.

It's a 2 or 5 centavos from the Mexico City mint.
If a bronze '2', the weight will be about 6g and 25mm in diameter (series 1905-1941) OR, a weight of 3g and a diameter of 20mm (series of 1915 only). If it's composed of nickel and weighs 5g and has a dia. of 20mm, then it's a 5 C coin (series of 1905-1914); OR if a weight of 9g and composed of bronze (28mm dia), then it's a 5C from the series 1914-1935. Values vary, of course with year and condition. The year would be placed 180 degrees from the "Mo" mintmark.
