biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 1:32 pm The date would be somewhere between 1917 and 1924. The design was modified for 1925-1930 so those dates do not disappear after significant wear. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 4:49 pm I think he's simply questioning biokemist's remark about dates not disappearing for 1925-1930 quarters after significant wear. We all know that they do of course disappear in time, so it's just a question of what "significant" means. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 5:35 pm I would consider "significant wear" as Fine to Good(such as the OP's coin). A 1925-1930 issue would have to be at least AG or lower to have portions of the date missing. Report this Post to the Staff
08Blond Valued Member United States 64 Posts	Posted 01/05/2017 9:16 pm Is it possible to find out what the date was with some sort of etching like that done to dateless Buffalo nickels? I've never seen a restored date on a silver coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Alex12780 Valued Member United States 344 Posts	Posted 01/09/2017 9:22 pm I don't think it would be possible to bring the date back on this coin. Silver is a lot softer than copper and nickel, so any effort to restore the date with any chemicals would just rub it away worse than it is. I do remember reading somewhere that if you take a q-tip dipped in rubbing alcohol and rub as hard as you can, you may be able to clean some of the crud off enough to make the date a little more visible under a bright light.
