<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2667186, member: 27832&quot;]That&#039;s the point. If you look at the market for restored-date Buffalos, it&#039;s clear that people are still finding 1918/7s and better date/mint combinations among the undated material. And they do get good money, enough to make it worth the effort, even though they&#039;re much cheaper than problem-free examples.</p><p><br /></p><p>I assume that many of these &quot;better dates&quot; circulated with the rest, without a lot of collectors pulling them out at the time, and lost their dates with the rest. That means your odds of <i>restoring</i> a good date may be better than your odds of finding a dated one in an &quot;unsearched lot&quot; -- the former just means that it circulated enough to lose its date, while the latter means that it&#039;s <i>never</i> crossed a collector&#039;s hand and gotten pulled.</p><p><br /></p><p><i>If there were</i> a reliable way to restore dates on SLQs, I and many others would certainly give it a try. You won&#039;t <i>reduce</i> the value of the dateless SLQ any further, and you might find a (minor) treasure.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
