Buffalo Nickle

Hey everyone. I need some help identifying this BUFFALO NICKLE. As you can see, it has no date. How can I go about finding the date on this. Thanks in advance.

My favorite solution to this problem is Nic-a-date. It is the best way to reveal a date. I like only putting one drop but it says put a couple. And from experience, if you find a key date PCGS and IGC will strike it as cleaned, not NGC. You can get it here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Nic-a-Date...251455?hash=item52253076ff:g:0Q0AAOSw1Rpdk9wQ

If you want to see a video of it I found one here:

Nickel

 

Thank you. Will give it a shot

 

Hi Jimmy - the glare is too much for a possible identification, but before you Nic-a-date or pickling you nickel, there are a few diagnostics to explore. Can you take better pictures reducing the glare and keeping the coin in focus?

 

Here is what pickling will reveal on a dateless coin.

 

Thank you for your advice. I did what you said. Turns out. It is a 1916. Here is the pic.

 

Glad you waited. 103 year old circulation find(?). Pretty cool!!

 

Thanks for the helpfull tip.
