Congrats on your first V Nickel - lots of detail there !
It's totally up to you but ...
The best way to clean all types of Nickels is - (from what I've read an what I've done myself for years) is to rub them with very fine steel wool till they shine.
Never put any copper core coin in Electrolysis - it turns the coin orange - permanently !
Good Hunting !

Be careful cleaning the 12-d nickle. It is one of the most valuable. Clean it with soap and maybe soda or a mild abrasive. Try cleaning a portion of the edge first to see if you want to go further, Good luck with it.
Agreed! Silver I presume?

No, just a '46.

If you choose to clean your nickel, GoJo might be a gentler option.
