Is it worth it to try to clean buffalo nickels? Found this in my yard yesterday can only get 19 blank 7 so I'm guessing 1917. Is there a safe way to get off the corrosion and not destroy it I know it's not worth anything I was just curious.

I am thinking that nickel would be pretty impervious to a VERY VERY light attempt with CLR(gasp!). Put the CLR on a Q-tip and LIGHTLY bathe the area of the date then IMMEDIATELY rinse the spot with tap water. Seriously, whaddaya hot to lose?
 
I know it's worthless I kinda just wanted to get a date off it drives me nuts when I can't see the year.
