It may also darken the orange surface oxidation and make it a darker Buffalo nickel. Other than that I think you either leave it as it is or try that product. Not a plug, per say, but anything else would leave you with an obvious cleaned coin. Report this Post to the Staff

vanbroj Valued Member United States 450 Posts	Posted 01/04/2012 11:01 pm Take it out and shoot it and put it out of it's misery. I have never been able to get that color corrosion off a Nickel. If you ever did it off it would probably be badly pitted anyway. Report this Post to the Staff
robbudo Pillar of the Community United States 2757 Posts	Posted 01/04/2012 11:13 pm i had acetone get that rust color off once. But it required rolling a q-tip over the surface. didn't matter much for mine, it was just a dateless one. Report this Post to the Staff
weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 01/06/2012 3:43 pm Is that a "split tail" I perceive on Mr. Buffalo? I would not do anything more than try a little acetone to get rid of the green gunk. It's still a pretty nice coin...with lotsa "character"...! Report this Post to the Staff
