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.

When you hear of an acid dated Buffalo ,that's what is used. Your LCS Will usually have it, or coin supply co.

Or you could cook up some on your own...
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!

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
