<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1936038, member: 27832&quot;]This discussion comes up periodically. The consensus seems to be that you can&#039;t -- silver isn&#039;t as easy to etch as copper-nickel, and when you do, dates don&#039;t come back (because of metallurgical differences that I don&#039;t pretend to understand).</p><p><br /></p><p>I believe someone said that there was once a cyanide-based agent that people used to try to restore dates on silver, but whether it ever worked or not, you can&#039;t buy it now.</p><p><br /></p><p>If there <i>were</i> an effective way to restore dates on silver, there&#039;d certainly be a vigorous market in it, given all the &quot;dateless S&quot; SLQs that might turn out to be a 23-S or 18/17-S. Just look at what we have with Buffalo nickels.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
