Here's the results from my latest nik box:

3 Buffalos - 1926, 1937 & a worn date
2 War - 1943Px2
25 old - '39, '40x3, '41x5, '46x2, '47, '49, '52, '53, '54, '55, 56x2, '57, '58x4 & '59.

Notes:
1 roll produced a War nik plus 5 old niks.

This is my 1st box that had 3 Buffalos.

Can anyone make suggestions or shed light on what I can do with worn date Buffalos?

use a light acid solution, I heard soaking in vinegar works but have never tried myself. I used to soak em in 2N HCL since I work in labs. You can also buy nic-a-date but it doesn't get them evenly and it leaves a lighter colored circle around the date. do some google research you'll see tons of suggestions

Wouldn't HCL react with the nickel in the coin and pit it or something along those lines?

Thats funny! I do the same thing sometimes. Alot of times I go and run a black marker across the top of the coins. It helps because i've noticed sometimes I get the same coins back if I buy from my dumb bank
