One of the ways I used to make profit was buy bulk S mint dateless buffalos at 30C each and nicadate then flip them on ebay |

To boot, this coin has a badly gouged obverse.

I have restored the dates on many buffalos by just soaking them in white vinegar for a period of days. Check each day for progress and eventually you can read a date on almost every one. The overall "restored look" with vinegar is in my humble opinion preferable to the "spot' restoration with Nik a Date

No harm, do it for fun, but the odds of finding any residual value in this damaged Type 2 slick are over the moon.

3 parts white vinegar to 1 part peroxide, and presto, in 2 hours you'll have the date. Don't walk away for too long, and check it periodically.

Give pics once you use nic-a-date, I am interested in seeing what becomes of this! Also, is that a two feather?  ? |

I'm always amazed at how many people buy those restored dated Nickels.
