machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1280 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 5:20 pm Because it has a neutral pH, right? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 6:59 pm Because it is an organic solvent and doesn't react with metal. Report this Post to the Staff

mackwork Pillar of the Community United States 652 Posts	Posted 06/03/2014 9:03 pm No - acid dating only works on nickels. Report this Post to the Staff

g048406 Pillar of the Community 861 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 12:33 am Try taking your index finger and getting the black soot from you cars exhaust pipe. Rub the soot on the date area, you might see the date. Report this Post to the Staff
machine20 Pillar of the Community United States 1280 Posts	Posted 06/04/2014 11:12 pm It kinda looks like there may be a trace of the last digit on that quarter, which is all you really need. Report this Post to the Staff
BluegrassRiver Valued Member United States 324 Posts	Posted 06/05/2014 9:57 pm I like the idea of standing up the nickel so only the date area is submerged in the vinegar. Report this Post to the Staff
whit3 Valued Member United States 76 Posts	Posted 06/07/2014 07:03 am I must have lived a sheltered life as well, since I had never heard of doing this. As a test, I froze some vinegar and then removed the acid. I have a roll of no date Buffalo nickels that my mom had pulled out of change when she was a kid. I've been experimenting on them, and so far I've found a 1919-P, a 1913-P Type II and a 1925-P. Report this Post to the Staff
