Value and date my 1914 D Buffalo Nickel

Hey guys I found this nickel coin roll hunting in August, i'd like to know it's value along with a grade. I'm pretty sure 1914 is a semi-key date but i'm not positive.

Just curious, was it soaked in vinegar?

 

The obverse certainly looks like it, but hard to tell from that photo. Could be worth a few bucks, it appears similar to this one:

Not vinegar, but nic-a-date. They go from $1 to $10 on eBay

 

Looks like the whole obverse was covered in it.
Those lines look like the lines that I get when I soak my dateless buffs in vinegar.

 

Well, nic-a-date and vinegar are both acidic and react the same way... etching away (ever so slightly) the unhardened (non-raised) portions of the coin. I prefer nic-a-date, only because it's more concentrated and works quicker. Here's a dateless buff in which I restored the date:

 

yeh I didn't know… dumb me….

 

Even if it was soaked in vinegar it still has some value since it is a key date.

 

value 5 bucks

 

Next time just do the date area and not the whole coin.
