Lime Away for cleaning buffalos and v nickels

[funkman]

I know I saw a post that someone used Lime Away to get rid of the red of buffalo and V nickels. Can anyone help me find this post or know who it was that did it? The reason I ask is that I have a couple of buffalo nickels that are of no value...not much anyway...and they are theat dark brown/red color. If I remember the post correctly the Lime Away brought back the silver color.

Thanks.

A new MD hunting friend I met last week mentioned this cleaning technique. . . he got it from one of his friends

It seems to work. . . Take care & HH!

Try the Lime Away on 2 buffalo's and 2 V nickels....all 4 coins were dark and the dates were really hard to read..the buffalo's sat in the lime away over-night and the V nickels were in in for 2 days...

Good Luck,

Thank you, that's good to know about lime-away, nickels always seem to be the hardest to clean.

I tried it with a buffalo nickel...and one side turned out the appropriate color--but the other side was the color of Cotton Candy!

Hey you lime-away dudes--did I do something wrong?
