<p>[QUOTE="tommyc03, post: 2522412, member: 17665"]Yes, I use Nic-a-date. I'm not sure I would buy an acid treated Buffalo but if done correctly they can be nice space fillers on the hardest ones to get. Pricing is a whole different thing. Rarity is key for me. If the finished coin presents nicely I might be encouraged with something like the over date but only if all the other details were V.G. or better. Always in the back of my mind is someone disposing of the collection later on and getting a big boo from a dealer. I did recently treat a dateless coin with an S and it turned out to be a 1921S. Came out rather decent but not as well as I would have wanted. I also treated a Shield Nickel today that turned out to be an 1870. It will fill the space until I find a better one. I've never used on foreign coins yet though as I've had no need or coins needing it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
