Thats one way to do it and many that sell restores do it that way. I found that if you use a brush and put a drop of nic-a-date on the brush and then lightly stroke over the date area, you can get a date in 10-15 seconds. And if you do it quickly then there is very little stain. One of the big problems with ever finding anything worth is value is that usually when a coin has no date, the rest of the coin is pretty bad too. Which is probably why many dip the whole coin.
