<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iontyre, post: 2781021, member: 70577&quot;]As far as I know, the date on buffalo nickels was never &#039;sunken&#039; to prevent wear, it was the denomination (five cents) on the reverse that was changed.&nbsp; Originally it was on a mound, but midway through the first year of issue (1913) they replaced the mound with a recess and put the denomination there.&nbsp; The date area was never changed and even later date buffalos (all the way to 1938) that circulated well would eventually lose their dates.</p><p><br /></p><p>The date area on Standing Liberty Quarters was modified in 1925 to protect the date, that might be what you are thinking of.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
