So I have what I believe is a 1923 s standing Liberty sitting snug in one of my coin bezels. I placed this coin in it because I originally thought it to be a no-date coin. The date is so faint so I want to try and pop the date out. Any way to do this without ruining the value of the coin? I just want that date popped out.

No way without ruining the coin.
Only nickel can you do this.

You can try to cut the bezel off but it may scratch the coin but the risk may be worth it if it's worth something to you

In order to get a decent date on these early LSQ's be ready to pay $400-500 just for the 1919D or 1919S. The ones that are really scarce you will be really paying up just to see a faint date.

Think about what you are asking. "Is there any way I can alter this coin without altering it?"

You can try rubbing some black soot (like what you can find in your vehicles exhaust pipe) on the date area. It might help outline and show the date better. Otherwise, you can't restore a date chemically on s silver coin.
