Looks like it's worth sending it in to ANACS.

Are you using chemicals to raise the date?

Don't acids you use to raise the date degrade the coin? You have a coin with a faint date that is really crusty and distorted using acids IMO. You still have the date, however, and if it a rare coins then it must be worth the effort. What is a coin like you showed with an acid raised date worth?

Well, first off, I only acid treat NO date nickels! (Sorry for yelling had to make my point). The coin I posted is probably worth $250. My first one is probably $350, because how bold it is.

Awesome. It's like hitting the lottery twice. Congrats!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Wow, if you are making that kind of money using acid or LSD who cares. You are doing something right! Man, if you could raise dates on LSQ's and could find one 1916 you would be in the money. I have a set of LSQ's including a 1923-S in EF condition and even the EF coins have weak dates. They all do before 1925. I don't have a 1916 because I don't want to spend $8000 to get a good one.

I wouldn't want to acid treat LSQs because a 1916 can be easily identified   |

Sorry, the picture isn't coming up clearly.
The main way I tell, is that the 1916 has worn off rivets on the shield when they are dateless.
