Most certainly! A very great set to put together as a beginner. Like you said though, the 1913 S Type 2 one is a toughie.

I had occasion to hunt buffalo one time. I was sneaking over a hill and noticed a large herd about a 1/4 mile away that was rather restless and starting to move my way. I told my girlfriend at the time that it might be prudent to get back down the hill as the only hiding place was a 2 ft stump. We had just moved back a few hundred yards to a safe place when the ground started to vibrate. Pretty much like you see and hear in the movies. All several hundred buffalo poured over the hill engulfing the area we had vacated. It was an impressive experience.

Buffalo are one of my favorite animals, as is the buffalo nickel.

Can see how you could remember that

Now that I am retired, there is more time to delve into areas of the hobby not yet explored. After following the coin talk thread on restoring dates on worn, totally dateless buffalo nickels, I decided to give it a try. First, I experimented with a few non-mint marked dateless nickels to determine a good procedure. I submerged a few in distilled white vinegar, flipping them over about every 12 hours. I did this in the basement away from living areas. After 4 to 8 days, the dates were visible with few exceptions. I dried them and submerged them in distilled water for a day or so.

The results were excellent, with not only full restored dates but also decent restoration of the coin details. I used this procedure on D and S mints. Of 16 mint marked coins, there were one 1913 D type 2 and two 1921S. The majority of the other dates were in the teens and early twenties. I know that these restored nickels have little or no numismatic value, but what was there to lose? I just might try to get a complete collection of teens and twenties just for the fun of it.

Now that sounds like fun. Who cares. It's a hobby. Right. Think you efforts brought you great joy. God bless you
