[QUOTE="-jeffB, post: 2667218, member: 27832"]Yep, you and a couple of other people have mentioned that product in the past. Nic-A-Date works, and people are still using it, and we're still seeing restored-date Buffalos in the market. Why no restored-date silver coins on the market? My working hypothesis is that silver coins [I]don't[/I] let you restore the date with [I]any[/I] chemical treatment -- that if you could, the product would be on the market, and people would be using it. If some people remember bringing out [I]some[/I] dates with Nic-A-Silver 50 years ago, I suspect it was a matter of removing discoloration or altering the texture on a date that was already there (as a feature with some tiny bit of relief), but not [I]quite[/I] visible to the user beforehand. If it didn't really work, that would explain why it's no longer on the market. Until we get some experiments with positive results -- or, best of all, come up with an actual bottle of Nic-A-Silver with an ingredient list, or some contents that can be analyzed -- it's going to be hard to bring "silver date restorer" out of mythical status.[/QUOTE]
