RFB Pillar of the Community United States 532 Posts	Posted 11/02/2009 8:33 pm Nothing wrong with nic-a-dating a coin. Nothing at all if it lets you enjoy the coin. The problems only arise to me when people try to sell the coins as having original surfaces. I personally consider them into the category of damaged. BUT!. I still would much rather have an acid treated coin than a copy any day of the week. Congrats on the find. Always a good feeling to stare at one less hole than before. A 1913S T2 is nothing to turn you nose up at in ANY condition. Edited by RFB 11/02/2009 8:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff

ratio411 Pillar of the Community United States 1208 Posts	Posted 11/03/2009 10:06 am Is the nicadate supposed to bring out dates nice and clear? Or do you always have to squint to see the results? I am just curious if he is doing it correctly... We have been able to tell the date of all the coins so far, save one that was more damaged than worn at the date site. Any tips on getting the clearest possible nicadate? Does multiple applications help your chances of getting a bold dating, or does it decrease with each application? Thanks!

XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 11/03/2009 4:12 pm It depends on how worn the area near the date is. The more worn, the less detail will be shown. Very harsh and extreme wear, such as deep scratches and corrosion near the date area, can sometimes prevent even nick a date from working. I find that using the least possible had the best effect, as sometimes to much will eat away the details you are trying to restore! -XoG Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/05/2009 10:58 am Did he use the stuff all over the coins or just where the date should have been. I ask that since if he did the entire coin it will not look so bad. All looking the same is a lot nicer lookin in an Album than just a spot on the date. Report this Post to the Staff
