Message:: [QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3062217, member: 92655"]I have a burlap sack of no date buffalos. Sack has grown to substantial proportions over the years. I give them away to kids. Some years ago I got to wondering.... Maybe, just maybe there might be a hidden gem in there. So I mixed up a concoction of peroxide and alcohol and started soaking them six at a time..... If you ever have done this to a no date nickel the process produces a ghost of a date image and leaves the nickel an unnatural white color. But that ghosted date image always looked like a 1913 or 15 on the S mints. The D minted buffalos always looked like a 1918. I was making myself crazy trying to see what I hoped was there...... So anyway, I have a big sack full of buffalo's that are all 1913-S, 1915-S and 1918-D that I plan to auction. You just have to soak them to get the dates..... No, I finally got over it and am back to handing them to kids every chance I get.[/QUOTE]
