No! no, no, no! Keep them away from vinegar! There are better products. Hopefully someone else will weigh in.

Replying to MikeF, if it is a completely unidentifiable nickel, no other identifying markers, what's the diff? It is a worthless collectable piece of junk. At the very least curiosity is defeated, fill a hole in a known "date raised folder". What I do with those common date raised ones...I give them out to munchkins in grocery stores, sometimes able to start conversations, spark some interest. To those kids seeing a date that's older than dirt is a real thrill, a no dater is a big so what!

Well besides the type one variety and the hair and ribbon details on 1920,1921,1924 nickels are their any other ways to identify dateless Buffalo nickels? |

If you have the time, try using teriyaki sauce. You wont get that white acid etched appearance this way.

You had fun, learned a bit, and was able to pull a few for your album. Nothing wrong with any of that.

If none of the indicators are there, no other way to fully ID one. I've never heard of teriake sauce, interesting, if it does that to metal, what's it do to my gut! Have to try that.

I always use 40/60 combination of hydrogen peroxide and white vinegar . If you can come up with anything else that raises the date ,then all the power to you . Hmm, I wonder what pure lemon juice will do ?  |

Teriyaki sauce, ketchup, barbecue sauce etc, the active ingredient in all of them is the same thing, vinegar.

It is not just that you filled some holes, but you had a wonderful journey doing so.  |

The only differences are the asthetic outcomes from using these different concoctions. Teriyaki sauce has soy that will help mitigate that acid etched look by given the coin some color. Other vinegar based sauces may also give a similar desireable result. |
