Many had the date worn off and back then the deal for a kid was to soak them in plain vinegar for a few days and the date would sometimes come through. The vinegar would give the coin a rough look but if I was just going to pass them in change at 5cents anyway, it would be a bit of fun to find some date I didn’t have in my Whitman folder. Some dates would ‘raise’ very easily after a day or so, others not so. Sometimes a date would be there with the coin ‘wet’ but once the coin dried, the date would disappear, other times the date stayed visible. Oh, and back then one could find a 1913 Type 1 “raised mound” without doing the vinegar thing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
