Hey guys I bought some dateless buffs for fun. Instead of nic-a-date I want to use vinegar so that I don't have to buy nic-a-date. What's the process for this? Just drop it in the vinegar? Add something to the vinegar? Thank you
 
I soak mine in Worchestershire sauce overnight and see if it helps.
 
SCDiggin,
Nic-a-date is well worth the money. It is a ferric acid of some combination. Here is a post that talked about making it- http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/coins/285370-homemade-nic-date-recipe.html
but I've also seen it referred to a ferric chloride, ferric peroxide, and at least one other odd mix. I guess I never read the bottle I had- and it's long gone. I recall getting 50 or more to date from one bottle but a lot more that I tried wee really really bad MD finds tat were way rotten.

Thank you I've decided to get some after ruining one.
