[QUOTE="MrOrange1970, post: 2484823, member: 80547"]First let me say that I think my kids instant gratification is rubbing off on me. I used vinegar with just a touch of peroxide. The water turned blue as expected and I took the coin out after a little over an hour. Results: 1. A really dull and ugly coin! 2. While I can see more of the outline of the previous number, the existing numbers have faded quite a bit. 3. I think, it's still debatable but looks more like an 8 than anything else. Did the 3 have cent on the reverse? If not I'm inclined to go with 8. 4. I shan't do this again! I'd agree that the coin is now quite damaged. Question, I have about 30 dateless Buffalo Nickels. As I wouldn't want to ever do this method again, have any of you had luck with nic-a-date on just the date area of the coin? That said, if a key date is found, is all the numismatic value destroyed by the date retrieval process? After Pics:[ATTACH=full]524924[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]524925[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
