Hi James,
I kept at that buffalo with the Nic-A-Date and the date finally came out. I thought I had a key date on the 1918 over the 17, but it turned out to be a 1928..... I came up with one 1937, three 1936's, one 1928, one 1927 and the stubborn one turned out to be a 1914. Thanks again for the tip on the Nic-A-Date. That stuff really works........... HH.

Is the nick a date Solfuric Acid? And if so what dilution is it. Its nice working in a lab now that I started this hobby. Once I tried hydrochloric acid and all the clean area covered over again with a rust. Back to square one.

The back of the bottle says that it contains Ferric-Chloride. That is all that it says on it. The Nic-A-Date Date Restorer For Nickels is relatively cheap and it only sells for $5.00 or so at my local coin shop. There is enough acid in the bottle for years of use. Hope this helps you out some and next time you are at your local coin shop, see if they carry it and if not, see if they can order you some. You won't regret it!
