<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 1242144, member: 11521&quot;]Oh, my!!! I would absolutely <b>NOT</b> use Nic-A-Date on that coin. Nic-A-Date works on nickels by dissolving the copper in a copper-nickel and leaving the nickel. Nic-A-Date would dissolve most of a bronze cent (95% copper) and destroy a potentially valuable coin. </p><p><br /></p><p>If I were you I would look for other clues as to whether the coin is a genuine 1877 IHC, clues such as the &#039;Weak N&#039; reverse, shape and placement of the numerals in the date, etc. I would <b>NOT</b> do anything destructive to the coin. If the clues still point to the coin being a genuine 1877 IHC then it would be worth the expense to send it to a TPG for authentication.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
