Is This 1921-S Buffalo Acid-Treated?

yeah its acid treated, big time. 100% feedback is subject to change.

I wrote tapsaero:
" Why don't you mention these Buffalo nickels 1921S 1914D and 1913D ty 2 are soaked in vinegar to restore details. Either that or acid treated? Also you spelled nickel wrong."

Sometimes, acid treatment makes absolutely horrid looking coins appear to be a good bit better. The down side is obvious damage to the coin.

Problem: Is the seller obligated to mention that a coin has been cleaned?

With modern coins, only should be done with coins that have no value above face.

Yeah that is acid treated

I think asking $300.00 for a 1921S that is barely identifiable, $200.00 for a 1914D and $50.00 for a 1913D Ty2 in the altered conditions these are in is blatant deception.
Not telling the truth is dishonest, just as much as telling a lie.
Whether they are obligated to disclose this or not is one thing, but to price the coins in the ranges he has is another. The open bid on the 1914D implies that it is in a natural state in a grade between VF and XF. The 1921S in F to VF and the 1913D Ty 2 in almost G which none of these come close to being worth ( to some collectors ) more than 1/10th of his open bid.
The details these now "appear" to have puts them in the same ranges as coins not tampered with.

Speaking for myself, as I know there are others who prize these here. They certainly have the right to collect whatever they want. For me, acid treated coins have little to no numismatic value except as hole fillers if a collector can't afford one in a natural unaltered state.
At least the good members I have seen here who do have some enthusiasm about the restored nickels, don't try to get unrealistic prices for them and do disclose the true condition of the coins they deal in, and I certainly respect that.
Unfortunately some of these coins that are restored can be sloughed off as normal when being resold on ebay.

It all comes down to this I suppose, buyer beware and be educated. This forum has all the information within it to help us from making mistakes on buying coins like these at those prices.

Acid treated for sure. Interessted to know if the seller will respond to yuou The NickelGuy and/or modify the listing.

Yes, I see all three are now acid treated or soaked in vinegar in the description. I must tip my hat to this seller for changing it and will write them in appreciation. They won't sell at these prices, I hope not at those prices anyway, but if they do it's the buyers problem not the seller.
He even corrected the nickel spelling!
I am impressed. Not your usual response in cases like this.

EDIT: I wrote him:
Thank you for the corrections on the restored date nickels, and I think that was quite good of you. Best of luck.
