You are talking about a battery effect?
 I you have a gold crown, mercury 'can', but not always, slowly plate to
that crown. 

 Pretty detailed article here on gold / amalgam reactions..a bit over my head
http://www.ibiblio.org/amalgam/

 The electrochemical potentials  in the order from most reactive (+) to
least reactive (-):
Zn & Zn(Hg) > Sn > Cu(Hg) > Cu > Ag > Hg > Au
+.7626 +.1406 -.3511 -.3400 -.799 -.852 -1.42


 Reverse amalgam-ation, perhaps, where silver sucks mercury that's alloyed
with silver out of fillings?

 I dunno,  mercury has a pretty strong tendency to dissolve things like
silver, zinc,  tin, gold and lead into it at room temperatures.
 Never tried it with aluminum or copper.  Maybe those too.
