T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 08:10 am Maybe NICK-O-DATE ? Report this Post to the Staff
moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 01/04/2016 11:41 am The photos and the state of the coin itself make it nearly impossible to tell if this is an overdate. It won't hurt it to nik-o-date it as suggested by by T-Bop. It's worn enough that it would be hard to prove this was an overdate without enhancing that area. Report this Post to the Staff

You need: -Small glass bowl, like one you use for applesauce -Vinegar -Hydrogen Peroxide Instructions: Place datless buff into the bottom of the bowl, face up. Pour the vinegar a half inch over the top of the coin, and then pour in hydrogen peroxide until you reach about another half inch. Wait for 2-4 hours. Done! Report this Post to the Staff

edweather Pillar of the Community United States 7375 Posts	Posted 01/05/2016 12:56 am If you already did that bath, the date should jump off that coin. Maybe try it again. I don't use much peroxide, gives me more control. Would hate for the whole nickel to disappear Report this Post to the Staff
