<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MrOrange1970, post: 2484442, member: 80547&quot;]So I bought a bunch of well circulated coins along with some old dealer stock of Pennies in VF to BU condition.&nbsp; I&#039;m taking in cheaper old coins to see if I find a circulation that really interests me.&nbsp; In the last tube of Buffalo Nickels were some Liberty Head Nickels.&nbsp; Being the Neophyte that I am, I&#039;d never come across these before, so I started researching. </p><p>Most are AG in my opinion with a good or two from the 1900&#039;s.&nbsp; One however has me intrigued.&nbsp; There were a few 1888 and 1895s that were in decent shape.</p><p>I then came across a coin that had 188? my eye and my kids eye says it looks like 6 which would make it a pretty neat coin to have even in its current state.&nbsp; That said, I could call it an 8 too...&nbsp; The reverse does have Cent on it.</p><p><br /></p><p>A couple of questions. </p><p>1. Is there any other way to discern a date on a nickel like this?&nbsp; I&#039;ve attached pictures and even after numerous shots, enhanced pictures and all that jazz, I still can&#039;t really make out the date. </p><p>2. If the date can&#039;t be discerned any other way, should I try the hydrogen peroxide / white vinegar trick to pull up the date?&nbsp; And if so will it ruin any potential value anyway? </p><p><br /></p><p>The way I look at it, I don&#039;t want to ruin a coin but at the same time without a date, it really won&#039;t even work to put in a simple coin folder. </p><p><br /></p><p>Opinions, suggestions and criticism is always welcome![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
