<p>[QUOTE="Agilmore01, post: 2513948, member: 45687"]I bought a bunch of dateless buffs at a show one day to have fun with. I did the vinegar soak and did not like the end result. The dates did show over time, but it made the whole coin look corroded, as the pics above show. Then I got Nic A Date and would put a tiny dot of it right where the date would be and let it slightly spread and would give it about 1 minute. I could usually see the date through the acid before I rinsed. I much preferred this way because the rest of the coin is untouched and only a small spot where the date is was a tad darker. I have found several 1914-D and other semi key dates, and they look close to original by using very small amounts of Nic A Date. Some I have seen used a big blob that covers a 3rd of the coin and makes it look bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
