Old Buffalo

NC7011 · Jul 28, 2020

I was going through some of the change I have laying around. I came across this old Buffalo nickel. Its really worn down. I can't find the year, due to it being worn down so much. Also, can't find/discern the mint mark. Any tips/ideas on how to try and make those visible? Thanks for the help.

There is 'Nic A Date' solution that sometimes makes the date visible.

Very likely NO mint mark which means minted in Philadelphia.

Thanks for the advice. I placed it in 10ml of vinegar today. We'll see how it turns out.

UPDATE

I got a bottle of Nic-A-Date in today. Tried it on the Buffalo. It is a 1919. Thanks to Waltr.

Wow, the Nic-A-Date worked well.
1919 is an old one.

Thanks for posting photo and update.
