TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 02/22/2009 8:26 pm Thanks so much for the contest. I have a roll soaking now for about 3 weeks, only about 4 came up with easily nice identify-able dates, some are working on it and a bunch will not give up the ghost. I know one is a 1916 and the other a 1918 and I have been letting them soak longer hoping to find the over date and double date but uhhhhh I dunno, that would be a lucky snag wouldn't it out of just 1 roll. Is this normal? When should I figure the bath is done in vinegar and settle for results? Report this Post to the Staff

Yes...finding an 18/7-D overdate in just 1 roll of no dates would be insanely lucky! I have found 10 of them over the course of the last 5 years and I have probably sifted through over 25,000 MINT MARKED nickels in that time...so if you find one in your roll of 40....the Buffalo nickel gods must like you a lot!
