Using a 50/50 mixture of hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar, you can etch the surface of the coin by soaking it a few minutes to reveal a date. Of course, that's only if you are curious and don't mind sacrificing the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>I've pickled many a worn Buffalo nickel to reveal a date/mm.
