1913 S ty 2 restored date Buffalo Nickel

[snacks-migration]

I have been doing some date restoration on buffao nickeIs, I found a 1913 S ty 2. I had to nic-a-date the date and also a little on the mint mark to see that it was an "S". I know it is not worth too much, but it is a key date. Does anyone know how to price restored date nickels?

Usually valued at 25% or less than a non-acid dated coin would bring.

 

Frequently people will dip the entire coin in acid to give a uniform look and bring out more details.

I kind of think that it would be a fun and inexpensive way to complete an entire set of buffalos using nic-a-date. I know that it wouldn't be worth much but with today's hot buffalo market and high prices it would still be a cool set. Hey, I think that I'll do that someday. Yea, the album would be worth more than the coins but................what the heck! It would be fun. Yippie Kai Ay!

Thanks for the tip, Gregory! Good to know.

Demand for "restored date" Buffalo nickels has never been much. Even during the collecting craze of the early 1960's the "restored date" pieces were of virtually no value.
