'go through' is the definition.
(experiencing is a kind of going through)

'old coins biting queen on one' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'old' could be 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime) and 'ex' is found in the answer.
'queen' could be 'er' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth) and 'er' is found in the answer.
'one' could be 'i' (Roman numeral) and 'i' is found within the answer.
'coins' could be 'pence' (penny is a kind of coin) and 'pence' is located in the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
