<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1478225, member: 5233"]So, I am in the process of going through my collection and trying to get it organized. One item I have is a roll of dateless Buffalo Nickels...and along the way I picked up a bottle of Nic-a-Date. I thought it would be fun to go through and see if the branch mint coins were better dates. So, I thought I would try one and see what I found. I found a AG details nickel with an "S" on the reverse and I gave it a try. The date that came out was 1914. Now, I know that 1914-S is not a key date but it is certainly a better than average date in this series. </p><p><br /></p><p>I don't really have any desire to have low grade coins like this, but it is fun. I'm thinking of doing this to the branch mint coins and seeing what I find. I figure the Philly coins aren't really worth it. I can't think of a reason not to do this. Also, do you think if I do find a better date (1921-S for example)...I could see it for something? Or, are they truly not worth anything more than a dateless coin?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
