Coin collectors, I'm sure, would emphatically say "nothing." I've always heard it said that cleaning a coin ruins its numismatic value. However, it'll always be worth face value, and some people like the buffalo nickels for making jewelry.

For cleaning, my suggestion would be starting with the simple and fairly gentle mixture of warm water and blue Dawn dish soap, and move on to more drastic methods as you feel necessary.
Coca Cola will burn a lot of that corrosion right off. I clean brass valve seats with it, works great!1967redrider wrote: ↑Thu Jul 15, 2021 1:45 am I found this Buffalo nickel while running Bouncing Betty (see What Did You Use Your Knife For thread- viewtopic.php?f=2&t=65286&start=525 ) and this seems like the best thread to post my question. What can I do to clean this up without ruining it?
Thanks for your replies.

Nice old timekeepers! They have so much more character than an LCD encased in plastic.
