<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3106693, member: 92655"]That's cool to find a buffalo still in circulation. The US Mint made a mistake when they designed the Buffalo and raised the date above the rim. Being the highest part of the design, the dates subsequently wore off many of these. In fact, I have a large bag of no date buffalos I give away to kids...... As mentioned, if you are curious about the date you can get a product called Nik-A-Date. I have personally soaked some in a solution of peroxide and alcohol and that sometimes produces a shadow of a date. But it turns the coin unnaturally white. Enjoy them as you found them is my motto. Cool catch![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
