<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 2649070, member: 27832&quot;]Any other coin will display a date and mintmark.

A chemically etched common-date Buffalo is worth about the same. A chemically etched Buffalo that happens to reveal a key date may be worth a few dollars, or if you&#039;re <i>extremely</i> lucky, a few hundred.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, yeah, chemically treating an otherwise-worthless nickel <i>is</i> all right.
