I see 1914.
put a piece of white paper over it and take a soft lead pencil and gently rub over the coin. it should show up better.

Looks like 1914. If you have a scanner, scan it at high resolution and you should be able to see the date. Works for me.

I hope it's 1914 and I can see that but I still think it is hard to tell.

three people say 1914, one person 1919.
I see 1914 from the picture you provided without enlarging it.

Most buffs i find are dateless, the date is the highest point on the coin and will be the first to be worn off...

Difficult to say until you brush off some of the dirt/corrosion....use a dry toothbrush or even a brass brush to whittle
the debris down some; then you should be able to see it.

A lot of people say SOS pads work wonders on nickels.

Too hard to tell from the pic. Maybe a higher-resolution picture would help.

Without Enlarging 1919 or 1918 .. Clean it up a little toothbrush or the alike BUT IMO forget the brass brushes & SOS pads ..
