Found a way to get dates off standing liberty quarters.

That looks like a 29

Ur 1920 looks like a 1929. The 9 and 0 look a lot a like

 

I just used nic a date to restore a date on 1920 Canadian 10 cents. I left it on there for about 30min. it did leave a nasty stain, but the date is clearly visible now. My theory is that since Canadian dimes were only 0.8 silver that year, higher copper content made restoring a date a bit easier.

 

I played with nicadate on a coffee can of dateless buffs. It was fun with the kids. They belonged to my mother-in-law. Found 2 1918/7’s. Sold them for her on Ebay, 1 @$75, the other @$750.

 

are not all ancient coins cleaned?? how come not a big deal there for restoring coins??

 

I must be blind as a bat, because I can't make out the dates on your pictures. I believe you have a great idea. I just hope your idea gets fried by our beloved purists, bless their hearts. If we didn't have a purist, we would all be bored. They are very exciting. Thanks to all.

 

As a metal detectorist I find lots of coins that sometimes can’t even be identified without a little help. I’ve confessed to doing so many times with plenty of recriminations but I don’t sell my finds (I give away plenty) and I clean them for MY pleasure so I can enjoy them more.

‘It’s like saying “I found a penny” vs “I found a 1943 S copper -penny”. Won’t know if you don’t look.

 

FWIW, I agree. Just curious as to what the date & MM would be. Perhaps tag sale them for price of silver or give them to kids to help them learn. TM2C. I would let anyone know they have been treated and not worth more than silver content (metal content).
