[QUOTE="Captain Jack, post: 2158691, member: 74684"]Just acid-dated some buffalos that had mint-marks but no seen dates. Well, I'm proud to announce that I have owned these for years without actually knowing what I've owned. Since I've gotten back into the groove of coin collecting, and figured out how to acid date the other day, I let them soak overnight in Vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide hoping that I wouldn't come back to a pile of blue muck: 1916-D 1917-S 1918-D 1919-D Now, if anyone else knows an easier way to date a buffalo nickel without putting it into a bath of acid, please tell me :) Is there a big coin book that can tell me about various die attributes to figure out how to date without acid?[/QUOTE]
