I pulled this from a roll yesterday. Under the loupe it looks to be a 1915. The reverse has a clear "S". I'm not 100% sure though and would like some opinions from y'all. This is the best I could get. No better with the microscope. Where the little indent is where the date would be is the inside part of the 5. Under the loupe I'm pretty sure the number to the left of it looks straight and would be a "1". Do you think I should give it a vinegar bath to see for sure or should I leave it as is?
It was called "Nic a date". I do not remember what the formula contained, but was an acid. If used, just enough to cover the date, and wash with water ASAP, and pat dry. Do not rub coin.
Where the devil you be seeing an 'S'? Last I looked , mint marks was on the reverse of this series.........
The "S" is on the reverse. ?? I was replying to: Heck, I ain't ssein' the 'hinney'.........er, um. uh, reverse.........
I ain't seein the date , must be my monitor or the pics . Hey Ken please don't show us your hinney whether there's an S or D on it . lol
Okay, let's get back to the brass (nickel) tacks. I have a box of "completely" worn (dateless) buffalo nickels. If I use a "Nic-a-date" formula like this: Will it add/bring back any value to the coin? Thanks, tj
------------------ furryfrog02- Any idea how I reopen this thread and notify the guys that responded to you? I just saw the you did this back in Nov 13 not Nov 15. Or maybe you can give me yourf opinion on my attached question. Thanks! tj
TJ - Depends on what you find. If you end up finding some key/semi-key dates they will be worth more than a dateless buff. However, they will be worth a lot less than an undamaged coin
--------------- furryfrog02- Roger that! Got it! Thanks for your timely reply. Did you see that video I attached? What do you think of that process? tj
I see a 15! Edit: I've also just noticed when this was posted. But, as said above, i believe this is a 1915, you can see the outline of a 5 and 1 in the picture.
