I guess I should've clarified on which Buffalo, it was not the one from above, which I did put in the same solution, but it turned out to be a '28, was two other Buffalo I had that were dateless, of which one was the 26 S! But here's one from above after just an hr and a half maybe 2 hrs in solution   |

Hey, it really impressed me on the shield and the rusted Buffalo! However, like the others were saying, the vinegar will etch the surface! And u must keep a constant #128065; on em cuz some brighten up quick others not so much!! So rinse immediately after removal from solution, then you can place coin back In solution, if needed!
Also, to all the members, would reducing the amt of vinegar, while increasing peroxide slow things down or make worse?

I believe more peroxide speeds things up since it acts as a catalyst

Q: Is There Anything Safe That Can Be Used To Bring Out Date On Worn Coins?
A: Your imagination ;)

I'm surprised you were able to bring out the detail like that in the condition the Shield nickel was in. As you said, you did damage the coin, but you've ended up with something at least identifiable, and there wasn't really anything to lose. |

How about this? Try to figure it out. This one is your original coin.  This one I try to make it sharp by 5%. For me it's clear from the first image it shown 58.  Adding 10%.  Hope this clear. Any sugestion welcome. God bless you all Solo. The shield image and buffalo next. |

Yea @solo, my coin was a Shield nickel, will attempt to find my pics, but should be at the top of this thread! And yes I posted a 2nd coin, but it was a rusty Buffalo, not as much "slick" But I'll trade both mine for the one you're enhancing!!  |

I can't see anything, the quality of the photo is very low.
Nickel ended up being 1867 ?

Yea with rays, and no it wasn't the quality of the pic that was low, it was just that slick! Same coin from above, just reposted the pic, took over 8 hrs of soaking in vinegar/peroxide solution to bring it out, on the slick reverse! Obverse wasn't as slick, could make out the shield, but that was all! After first 2 hrs, you could see the date, but reverse was still slick, so put it back in solution for several more hours, before you could see anything on reverse
