Most dateless nickels are NOT from the '30s. The vast majority are from the teens. '20s make up the next biggest group. It just stands to reason because the teens were in circulation longer. The only dateless '30s I have ever encountered were 1931-S (I have found exactly 2 of them), 1934-D (quite a few) and 1935-D. And that's based on on going through roughly 25,000 Buffalo nickels. I have NEVER heard of or seen a dateless 3-legger. If someone did discover one however, it COULD be authenticated, just like dateless overdates (18/7-D) can be authenticated. |

Once again I ask: How much does a bottle of Nic-A-Date cost?

$4 per bottle seems pretty cheap. I might be ordering one.
Also, how could dateless overdate buffaloes be authenticated? I didn't know this could be done.

I almost have a complete set of Buffalo nickels from doing this for some of the tough dates. I am missing 6 coins I believe. But I did get the 13S Type 2 and the 21S out of the way  |

FedEx, UPS, USPS are making way too much money for transporting hazardous products by ground?

CrazyCat: Most times, the dateless 18/7-D overdate gets authenticated because someone has restored the date with vinegar, Nic-a-date or whatever, and if the TPG can read the date clearly, they will authenticate it. It may also be possible for them to authenticate an UNrestored specimen if they can see some specific landmarks that were unique to the 18/7-D. |

I read about restoring dates with pbc from Radio Shack earlier tonight in a different thread. Search for this topic: Collecting Coins on the Cheap: The Buffalo nickel Challenge And then do a search for RadioShack. Also the thread is a fun read! |

just another opinion to add to the mix. nic-a-date leaves a nssty "burn" mark. both vinigar and nic-a-date are considered alterd coins. I personally do not like the look of the nic-a-date burn mark. even though vinigar typically leaves a dull un-natural surface, and does take considerably more time, I prefer that. actually the time involved is practically incidental. the collection hobby really i'snt about instant gratification.

Tabasco sauce works okay too. I've dated a few nickels that way.

CrazyCat.....would love to see a pic or two of one of the restored date coins if you would be so kind. I would like to see the look of a Nic a Date coin.
