You know it is just a matter of opinion or personal preference. I think if the dates were professionally restored they would still be worth the same money. Some collector may want to see the doubled date while another would want the "virgin" dateless appearance. I have seen them offered on ebay both ways.
A local dealer here in Akron Ohio found a dateless 1916/1916 a few years ago. While I have never found one of these last year (oct) I found a pair of 1918/7-d nickels unattributed in a a span of 6 days. One was on ebay and it came back graded good-04 corroded by ICG. It had some mild surface corrosion but not really that bad. And the second was a nice good-06 which also went to ICG. And I paid a total of twenty bucks for both coins. So I know how it feels when you found out you had the pair of sixteen doubled dies! Hell of a catch! Lightning does strike twice -- BUFFNIXX
