I have quite a few dateless buffalos, and holes in my album...those holes are annoying me, and so are the dateless buffs.

Does anyone have some experience or tips to share before I order a bottle and start playing?

You can also soak them in White vinegar for about a week. Have never tried the nic-a-date, but i have seen what it looks like and i leaves a"burn" mark where you apply it. I have tried vinegar method once with success. I brought a 1917 back to life. I have read that if the coin is too worn the process will not work. Give it a try with a few of your least worn dateless nicks. I am interested in hearing the results.

Thanks for your post . Something new to me. For others I found you can order it here http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/product/nic-a-date.html and someone has a website on it here http://www.buffaloreincarnations.com

yup it works good, but it is an art to it. Look up that buffaloreincarnations on ebay. he sell a lot of them

Also, don't let the vinegar evaporate, it will leave spots on your coins.

I have a bottle, it works good.

Thanks for the links. Interesting stuff.

The guy in the 2nd link, however, is using something stronger than nic-a-date. He'll tell you what it is if you buy his business for 25k.

He's a member over at the coincommunity web site, you could go ask him there.

I have only 1 roll of dateless buffs, otherwise I might go for it. Looking at the photo of his soaking sink it must be pretty caustic stuff whatever it isn

Engineer,
I love this stuff. i have found a couple of semi-key buffalos by using it. I know that people can tell a nickel has been "treated", but in my mind it was worth only five cents before i "Nik-a-Dated" it, and now it has a date and or mint mark that was hidden before. My goal is to fill up an album with these "restored" nickels. The bottle was under 5.00 and it goes a long way.

Thanks everyone. I ordered a bottle last night, and can't wait to play with the stuff.

I found a hole filler on my first try.

Edit: After a while, the treated areas started to discolor and turn green, so I guess I need to sacrifice some Jeffersons before I mess up all my buffalos.

Are you making any progress? Are they still turning green? I put 4 in vinegar and they should be ready in few days.

What dates do you need?
