Nothing,but id recommend dipping the whole thing so that it looks uniform.

Thats one way to do it and many that sell restores do it that way. I found that if you use a brush and put a drop of nic-a-date on the brush and then lightly stroke over the date area, you can get a date in 10-15 seconds. And if you do it quickly then there is very little stain. One of the big problems with ever finding anything worth is value is that usually when a coin has no date, the rest of the coin is pretty bad too. Which is probably why many dip the whole coin.

Good point. BUt the quicker the dip the lighter the date.
I tried this with vinegar. being an acid. It worked on some coins but not all
