<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 7677013, member: 106826&quot;]Actually, easier to see under a lighted magnifier and harder to get a picture of.&nbsp; I put it on an angle to catch some shadows to bring out a date.&nbsp; But then I pickled it somemore and was able to get a detectable date without to much lighting trickery.&nbsp; The thing about pickling the nickel is finding the point where to stop...where a date is apparent and where the risk of etching it to a point where the date is no longer recognizable.&nbsp; The series above catches three separate soaks...inching my way to a better photo.&nbsp; Of course it ruins the coin, but it&#039;s a spender anyway, so at the very least, the next person to look at it will see a date in-hand and realize what they&#039;ve found.&nbsp; Perhaps even create a new collector...one who will come visit your listings and items for sale!&nbsp; We can only hope!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>1939 D with &#039;38 Reverse.&nbsp; That&#039;s a nice find!!&nbsp; Could have been a liberated coin that was taken out of a folder of a deceased collector and put into the wild.&nbsp; Especially given its condition.&nbsp; Suggests that it was in a safe place for a few decades.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
