Dateless Buffaloes

[That Canadian Guy]

Does anyone know of an effective way, if any, to restore the dates on dateless buffalo nickels? Thanks in advance.

buy a bottle of nic-a-date from the internet... then post your results!

I usually go with a few days in vinegar.

This is the way to go. It gives an even tone to the coin. nic-a-date leaves a blue mark

I just dropped a sacrificial Buffalo into the vinegar. I will let you all know how this turns out, how long should I leave it in for?

Nic-A-Date makes the date appear in 15 seconds.

Please let us know what it looks like in a few days. Thanks for posting this.

Just until you can barely tell the date. That's the goal.
