Podoprigora Pillar of the Community United States 588 Posts	Posted 10/27/2008 9:27 pm I bought a roll of 40 dateless Buffalo nickels for 3.00$. I found 8 nickels with mint marks. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

Texas collector Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 12:42 am I just bought ten dateless buffalos today. I'm trying the vinegar thing I read about on another thread here. Two of them I know are 1913, because of the high ground reverse. I paid 35 cents each, should I go through more and pick out the 1913s or are they worth that much? Hopefully the vinegar trick will work. I'm not sure how long it takes. I think it could up to a week or two. I also picked out a few with mint marks, so hopefully I'll get lucky.

mycrob Pillar of the Community United States 2602 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 08:46 am I wouldn't use vinegar. Use something else like Nic-A-Date or muriatic acid (HCl) Report this Post to the Staff
wwhitman Pillar of the Community United States 1415 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 08:52 am I am not a expert on coin cleaning - having never done any, but Ya think you should be using hydrochloric acid on a coin? I am not even sure you should use acetic? Report this Post to the Staff
Becky Pillar of the Community United States 954 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 8:04 pm wwhitman, they are dateless coins, the only way to get the date to show up is using acid. Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 8:40 pm I just read some things about 5%acedic acid, it works well on dateless buffaloes.I seem to remember to check the coin or if you choose to more than one , check them when in acid and do not let them sit in there for longer than needed, in other words do not over due the bath. I know that if you can not see a date, you have nothing to lose( especially at those prices). Good luck, MORGANS DAD... Report this Post to the Staff

wheatiefan Pillar of the Community United States 507 Posts	Posted 10/28/2008 9:52 pm zoombuff, I can't magnify that image. It looks great. Did you treat the entire coin, or just the date area? WheatieFan Report this Post to the Staff

zoombuff222 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 10/29/2008 08:10 am Wheatie - It was given to me as a free sample by a guy who sells them on ebay. He restores the whole coin. Report this Post to the Staff
Texas collector Valued Member United States 369 Posts	Posted 11/02/2008 12:38 am No visible results yet from the vinegar. Does anyone know how much a dateless high ground reverse buffalo is worth? I'm wondering if I should buy more of them from my coin shop for 35 cents each. Report this Post to the Staff
