Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 7:54 pm Its usually in the eyes of the seller, I've found. If you can tell what the date is, even stretching to see it like some of yours, they're full date price. The only one I had to work at was the 1919 on left. What passes as dateless is slick date area worn down so far ya can't see Frasier's initial. Those I do " science" on 'em. A 50/50 solution of vinegar and hydrogen peroxide. Takes about 4-12 hours to see a bit of date, sometimes longer/shorter depending on how much wear. Some argue this is acid raising dates/damages coins, yea it is/does. Coin was worthless before, now becomes a hole filler until I can swap out w/ a natural. Besides, I like 'verking in a la-bore-atore-ee' aha, ha,ha,ha... PS: don't raise those & check your mintmarks!

tampabaygrampa Valued Member United States 408 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 10:04 pm I think I would call them all partial date. The 1934 is iffy in my opinion. I put most of the ones like that ln my "partial date" box. Report this Post to the Staff
weerdsteev Pillar of the Community United States 1291 Posts	Posted 02/16/2017 10:24 pm @fioti - The only ones I experiment on (and it's probably more like 10s of 1000s) are those with no dates at all. I don't tamper with those where I can figure out what the date is...even if only a fragment remains. Report this Post to the Staff
