<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mickey in PDX, post: 2222498, member: 74864&quot;]Many years ago as a teenager I was getting buffs in circulation, many undated. Someone at the Baton Rouge Coin Club mentioned using vinegar. Soaking three or four in a saucer with vinegar would generally bring up the date after 2, 3 many 4 days. Occasionally a date would never come up. Sometimes the vinegar would dry up and leave crystals and just &quot;reloaded&quot; with more vinegar. Sometimes the date was there when wet but would disappear when dry. So, it wasn&#039;t always a perfect solution to the problem of undated coins (no pun intended). - I guess at the time I knew it was altering the coin, which wasn&#039;t good, but it was the lesser of two evils, an undated buff or a coin that would fill the hole in my blue Whitman folder. I didn&#039;t soak the 1913 coins that I could detect with the raised mound on reverse. My first exposure to die types.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
