Message:: [QUOTE="Joey from Da Bronx, post: 3357019, member: 74701"]Here we go again. This is my final reply to this subject. YES, back in the mid-to-late 1960s there was a liquid called simply 'Date Restorer For Silver Coins'. It was advertised in COINage magazine and sold by Danny Crabb. YES, I had it. YES, I used it. YES, it restored the dates on SLQs. The only problems were that it had a nasty acidic smell and turned the date area black over time. Also, if I remember correctly, the clear acid turned green while it was working on the coin. But why would someone want such a 'damaged' coin? Well, I was just beginning to collect coins back then. My father owned a bakery and I was allowed to look through the coins in the cash register and take what I wanted. That's right, I got the coins FOR FREE. What 12-year-old novice numismatist would turn that down to fill holes in his coin albums?   Pix below are some I posted here years ago on this topic. Dates were much more visible when the coins were freshly done.     So, please, all you nay-sayers who say this is pure fantasy, if you didn't see something, don't say it isn't so! I bought it, I held it, I used it, it worked! 'Nuff said.[/QUOTE]
