<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 8168990, member: 4920"]It smoothes everything out. That’s how it brings up the date and the mint mark, as those are higher-set. On these no-dates, it’s inconsequential. I’d let this one alone though because the partial is enough to date it and the mint mark is clear. But in a true no-date, soak at full-strength for a night and check, and keep repeating, if necessary. When you get a partial (i.e., enough to identify the date and whether there’s a mint mark), you’re finished. At the high end, if nothing after about four nights, forget it, you’re just wasting the vinegar, nothing is going to turn up. This works. And, you’ll see, the coins aren’t worse off for it. There’s a trade-off in the surface, naturally, but you got a date and a mint mark you didn’t have. That’s why I use it on all my dateless ones. To try to get a date, lol.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
