kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 10:19 am As it currently is, you don't know. There is a product called Nic-a-Date that might make the date readable. BUT That product will slightly damage the coin. On the other hand, considering its current condition slightly more damage won't make a change in its value. IMO its value is face value -- 5 cents.

westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7613 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 10:21 am Coin will need to be treated with Nic-A-Date (a proprietary date restoration solution) OR soaked in vinegar to bring out the date. Vinegar just takes longer to do the job. Your coin will most likely still be worth only 10 cents after you restore the date. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 12:06 pm There is no date. So it is a dateless nickel. (Nick-A-date would not add a value to this coin. Probably a common nickel) But it is definitely not a 1913 Type 1: Report this Post to the Staff
HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24921 Posts	Posted 10/20/2022 12:25 pm I have a handful of dateless Buffalo nickels. I'm going to spend them - perhaps stimulate someone to take up the hobby. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff
