kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/20/2023 10:11 am Nic-a-date leaves an unmistakable mark on the nickel. But since the date was missing it can only be an improvement. Most collectors that use Nic-a-date only use it on coins with a mint mark. That can sometimes improve the coin's value just a bit. Report this Post to the Staff

Quote: I've had luck with this. https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/pr...-a-date.html That sounds better than using Vinegar to me...for no particular reason. If I'm not happy with the results, I'll then use Vinegar. I too have Buff's where the dates are worn. This is now on my "to-do" list. Thanks again!
