Do an acid treatment and try to revive some of the date, haha. Then we'll know.

Anyways, back to the initial question. I'd argue that this is indeed PMD. I had a coin similar to yours, except a Jefferson nickel that had the similar effect.

Sorry about the delay in response, working out of town. I have had several people look at this coin in hand and no one can positively confirm the date.

I would be pretty confident that it is a 1912, but like CoinHuntingDrew said, do an acid test if you must know!

I dont see anything wrong with calling this a 12. The top right of the loop begins to cut backto the center before it's lost to wear so a 10 is out. The last I heard there were only five 1913's known to be minted. The fifth one turned up some years back in a gentlemans estate and had been labeled as a fake by some attributer in the past. All 13's are accounted for.

If etching is the way you choose I always used Texas Pete. The 14-d in my album is from that

I will attempt the method CoinHuntingDrew posted and see what happens in about 5 days. I will post the results.

I'll stick with Nic-A-Date, takes seconds as opposed to days.

My method only takes about 2 hours.
put datless buff ( V nickel in this case) in a cup facing up. Pour run of the mill viniger on the coins, about an inch deep. Then, sqiurt about 1/2 an inch of hydrogen peroxiode an wait! Works perfectly!

Yes, but Nic leaves that green blob crap in the date range.

The video looked pretty convincing and may try one day. Cause everything as we all know and see on the Internet is true.

Remember every method mention actually is a process that's removing metal from the surface of the coin. Never do to a valuable coin.

That said if you can't see the date in some cases, how do you know if it's valuable or not? Rookies thoughts. Thanks, Doug.
