    The title says, "full date & full horn," but the description honestly admits: "The entire coin, both obverse and reverse, was expertly restored with nic-a-date."

    I don't know how common this has become, but looking at photos I had guessed this is what several sellers are doing so the tell-tale corner of discoloration won't give away restored dates, but this was the first guy I saw bragging about the expert restoration of acid.

    Acid - adding beauty everywhere.
