Highly darkened mercury dime

[metaldetecta]

I found this mercury dime next to an asphalt street in the summer of 2013, I will try almost any cleaning technique at this point to clean it so I can put it in my coin book, it is from the 1920s but I would love to see the date. If any body has any suggestions I would appreciate it.

Baking soda and water will work wonders just wet the coin and rub baking soda with your fingers

Thanks for recommending this method to clean my dime, I figured out that it was a 1920 p dime. I will recommend this method to all other people whose silver coins are tarnished. My coin now looks ready to be displayed.
