Looks to me like an over long soak of vinegar and peroxide .  |

Although I've never tried them, I always confront Rocky Mountain Oysters on the menu whenever I visit Denver and shudder. I imagine that's what they taste like.  There are several regional dishes I've never cared to try. RMO is one and hogshead cheese from Wisconsin is the other that comes to mind. I initially thought hogshead cheese was just a brand name like boar's head ham, until you see actual hogs head parts in the cheese. Edited by numismatic student

If you ever go too Scotland, don't try haggis.

Nic-A-Date? dont think so as you will always see a dark spot around the date if it was used and you dont see that here. Not true! If Nic a Date is rinsed properly and is not allowed to dry on the coin, it will not leave a brown stain. Read the directions before using the product! When doing date restorations you are better off treating the whole coin . not just the date area. Appearance and results says it all! |

baking soda and vinegar are I believe the compound culprit. When it stops fizzing just add some more.

Comparing to sold listings on ebay, acid restored and nic-a-date examples have sold from about $10-$20. Ultimately, whatever someone will pay. Personally, I'd rather spend a few bucks more for a problem free, low grade example. |

The gray matte rough surfaces of the whole coin indicate to me that the coin was restored by using Nic-A-Date (or some similar chemical composition). You can find detailed slabbed key date Buffalos such as 18/17-D, 16/16 in auction archives that have the same rough surface appearance from restoration. They are what they are and they are worth what someone will pay for them. Edited by westernsky

 The mostly missing rims suggest it took a swim in a pan of dilute Nitric Acid. Cupro-Nickel in dilute Nitric Acid leaves a clean, reduced, pitted surface. |

Thank you for all of your responses, it didn't look like Nic-A-Date per se, but I agree some chemicals were at play here and it's a shame because the date is a better one.

Well I'm sure there was no date before the restoration.

I know, it's bitter sweet uncovering good dates after restoration.
