The other two nickels I had turned up as a 1917 and a 1913 Type I. Yea I messed up with that one. It started looking like 1913 and then I flipped it over and was like oh yea, one of these looked like a raised ground. Oops. A year-less 1913 Type I is only worth like $5-$6 bucks when it's not acid treated right?

That's better than the 5 cents I got mine for.

Its not worth that much... BTW, why would you acid date a 1913 type 1 buff? Kind of pointless, IMHO...

Just found a 1919-s dateless. I did this thing where I mixed hydrogen peroxide and vinegar, and then added table salt. Within seconds, I could both see the date and the mintmark. It kind of got these wierd blue spots, like Joecointois. I actually gave it an olive oil bath a couple of hours ago and with even better results already.

COTW nice new avatar Thanks I have never encountered these "blue spots"... Perhaps it has something to do with the salt? |

And the blue spots formed on the coin where the concentrated vinegar had evaporated; where the coin was left exposed to the air.

Hey Joe, put your 15-d in a baking soda-water solution paste for about 3 days; It'll get rid of the streaks and the blue spots. It works like magic! You can hardly tell it is cleaned!

Oh, I see... I always put enough of the mix in so that in the 2-4 hours I keep the buffs in the stuff doesn't evaporate.
