[QUOTE="Michael K, post: 3206726, member: 78298"]Since it doesn't appear to be on a mound (1913), or have a mint mark. (Often the early mint mark dates can be valuable.) There's not a lot of risk if you want to make the date appear. However, the coin will be whiter and considered "etched". You can just let it sit in some white vinegar with a few drops of hydrogen peroxide. Half hour, hour, 2 hours, whatever. And then rinse. About 75% of the time after this has been done, if you look in a good light, and tilt the coin around (loupe is good) you will see the date. If it was a valuable coin, it isn't anymore. But when it is dateless, it is also in the 25 cent max range.[/QUOTE]
