Would you date the Buffalo?
I found this worn Buffalo coin recently in a box of nickels.
As you can see, the year inscription is missing from the Native American's shoulder.
This is only my second Buffalo, so I am a bit attached to it. If this were your second Buffalo, would you use a weak acid on it to try to reveal the year of minting? Doing so will most likely scar the nickel with a nasty looking etched area. I am not sure that I want to degrade the coin more than it already is. Would you?
