First let me state that I do NOT take credit for this cleaning tip. I found this on another site and tried it. I just wanted to pass this tip on.It definately works.
If you have an Indian Head/Buffalo nickel that is corroded or you can't make out the date, place the nickel in Worcestershire sauce... overnight.
I had found a nickel that I couldn't make out the date. In fact, it was as if someone had "erased" the date from the coin. When I saw this tip I was skeptical but tried it anyway.
The coin sat in the sauce overnight and the next morning I was very surprised.
The date was clearly viisble... 1934.
Since I was skeptical, I did not take any before pictures but can assure you that this "sauce" did work.
The article did say that you may need to repeat the process for another night if needed.
