Scrub the hell out of it, tumble it, do whatever it takes...I don't think it has much more value than a 2012 nickel.
Actually, coin trackers says it could be worth between $0.45 and $7.00 depending on condition. I still don't think it has any actual practical value, though, I was recently in a coin shop and they gave me a '52 nickel, which coin trackers said could be worth between $1.35 and $4.00. If there were actual value there, they probably wouldn't have given it to me.

My friend did it to some buffaloes and it took all the purple off of them. I think he just soaked them a few minutes or an hour or two. I would have to call him and ask. Let me know the results.
