<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 8283878, member: 27832&quot;]There&#039;s no point in using Nic-A-Date or anything else to bring up the <i>date</i> on this coin; with the raised-ground reverse, it can only be 1913.</p><p><br /></p><p>I can&#039;t tell from these photos whether it would be worth trying to raise a mint mark.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, it <i>will</i> hurt it, just not any more than it&#039;s already been hurt. A dateless Buffalo is pretty much a no-loss proposition; the only way etching would hurt its value is if there was already a visible mint mark. Even then, I&#039;m not sure it would hurt its value.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m with [USER=4920]@eddiespin[/USER] on using white vinegar instead of Nic-A-Date (on coins where you can&#039;t already tell the date, unlike this one). It gives a uniform appearance to the coin, and brings up other detail as well. It still trashes the coin, but like I said, if it&#039;s dateless, it&#039;s already trashed. There&#039;s still a steady market for restored rare dates on eBay.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
