<p>[QUOTE="Packrat, post: 2379594, member: 71780"]When I was a kid they made a product called nic-a-silver. Almost no one today seems to remember it. It had limited effectiveness, but did not "etch" the coin like nic-a-date does on nickels. I used it to pull out the mint mark on worn mercury dimes. Bought a number of 21-P dimes and sold 21-D dimes for a profit. Never found a worn off 1916-D. It was also good on three cent silver coin dates, which tend to wear down. As i remember it would stain your hands a dark purple that you just had to wear off.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
