HOW TO get a DATE off of a DATELESS BUFFALO NICKEL by only using 2 HOUSEHOLD INGREDIENTS!

Have you ever wondered what year is that dateless buffalo nickel? This video is one of many ways to find out. I will show you one way to clean a buffalo nickel in hopes of finding a date.
This method will use hydrogen peroxide and household distilled vinegar. This cleans the buffalo nickel and will allow you to see its date even when other methods may have failed.
WARNING: THIS METHOD WILL CHANGE THE APPEARANCE OF YOUR BUFFALO NICKEL. DO NOT TRY THIS METHOD ON HIGH VALUE BUFFALO NICKELS. THIS COULD DEVALUE YOUR BUFFALO NICKEL!

Your method that I tried really worked. My grandmother used to be a coin collector through her child time. I was looking through her 55 year old collection and found a dateless buffalo nickel. I tried to think of anything I’d imagine. I came up with a specialized acid treatment, but later realized that it may destroy the value of those rare coins. So, I found this video, and followed every direction, and got 1915! There was no mint mark, so it was Philadelphia minted. I priced it to be $5! Those dateless buffalo nickels are believed to be at least 90-95 years of age at the youngest and 100-110 years at the most.

[@5280Adventures]

Amazing

[@CedarRapids2026]

@@5280Adventures IKR! Bc of it, I’d credit this video for such a truly effective method

[@-oiiio-3993]

All 'Buffalo Nickels' were minted from 1913 - 1938. The Bison on Mound reverse was used only for part of 1913, so they are now 109 years old. The remainder (with Bison on Plain) are between 84 and 109 years old at this time.

[@802OutdoorAdventures]

This works on silver coins too. I soaked some slick silvers I had and discovered that one of them was a 1733 pistareen! Thanks for sharing this.

[@ddbeachbandits7455]

Very cool history about the buffalo and on the last one I thought I could see a 4 for the last number. Thanks for sharing. 😎👍👍

[@5280Adventures]

Awesome. I will go back and check that one again

[@jeffmauldin4299]

The mint recessed five cents recognizing that it wore off fast, why in the world didn't they recess the date too at the same time??

[@brazosTX]

Great video! Thanks for the tip, and I love the information about the buffalo nickels

[@robertaviles8451]

I have a couple of really bad dateless Buffy coins in my "coin boneyard" that are perfect for this! Thanks for sharing!

[@johnchumadventures8075]

Very cool, I have to try this. I only have 2 Indian nickels neither has readable date. Very useful info thanks for sharing. 😀♥️👍

[@5280Adventures]

+JohnChum Adventures Yes sir!

[@CysDetecting]

Good Video on that technique I have done that with shield nickels too with fair results

[@5280Adventures]

I would imagine similar results with the V nickel. Thanks for watching.

[@TeamLynchBMD]

Hard to destroy value if you don’t know what it is you will end up giving it away or just throwing it into a pile of other coins. Nice tip, I would use it on a detected find that I want to know the date on. If I have a $100 coin and I destroy the value I don’t care as I wasn’t selling it any way. $1000 bucks then I would regret it😁

[@ClaytonCountyHistoryHound]

Excellent information. I definitely will try this on a couple slick ones. Thanks for sharing, GL, HH and take care.

[@5280Adventures]

You’re welcome. I hope it works out for ya.

[@stephenstenger3498]

That is a cool trick. I have 2 or 3 with no dates. But don't want to clean them or ruin the value of the of Nickel that mite not be worth much form the gate. But thx for the tip.

[@anthonyfromsiny]

Ferric chloride also works.

[@gingerauld8682]

Your last buffalo nickel revealed date was 1928. At least that's what I saw. Thank you for this video and your help! If I do this procedure to reveal the dates, does that mean I cannot sell the nichols?

[@5280Adventures]

If you clean coins, you do it at your own risk. Serious coin collectors know cleaned coins when they see them and value those types of coins much less.

[@jerrydineen2827]

Thank you Tony, that's a cool little trick!

[@SandyFajardo-rc4on]

What u mean trick silly get over here so

[@SandyFajardo-rc4on]

What r u talking n about blanket n pillow still there I need u to y come to motel 6 he said ok on toilet

[@CoinsforAmateurs1]

Do not clean your coins! Unless they are a dateless Buff with a Mint Mark LOL! Interesting stuff Tony good job! Dig On!

[@5280Adventures]

Agreed Chad! Thanks for watching buddy

[@CSAN]

Coins for Amateurs that’s the key. I’d only bother with S mint marks LOL

[@nenettewalsh9816]

Mine have date like you show and have letter said D 1937 but four legs . And we dig it when we’re planting trees . It’s buried so deep I’m going to sale it . Thank you

[@-oiiio-3993]

That blue color reminds me of copper sulfate. Perhaps copper being dissolved out of the .75 copper, .25 nickel alloy of the Five Cent 'Nickel'?

[@tennesseewendy3631]

Liked the history on the coin also, thanks

[@5280Adventures]

Thank you so much. Much appreciated.

[@WilliamFlint]

I'm pretty sure that last nickel is a 1919. Thanks for making this video!

[@ArtbyJoeZ]

I think it is a 1933. Edit: just realized that they only made pennies and half dollars in 1933. Now I think it might be a 1918.

[@TIMOTHYEET69420]

Im almost certain its 1916

[@jp27whodey31]

ya it looks like a 19 to me

[@advenzures]

Awesome video. Thank you for sharing.

[@jlunaro]

good technique. I knew only the one which uses the product Nic-A-Date.

[@5280Adventures]

Also a product to find the date but does damage the coin. Be careful!

[@AcrossthePlains]

Excellent video, I enjoyed this one. Ever tried this on the reddish colored nickels we get out of the ground?

[@5280Adventures]

I havent tried them with this technique. I would imagine it would work well but be careful! Ive heard this devalues your nickels. Cant remember where I heard that. LOL

[@dianagomez9875]

I have an undated buffalo nickel but the buffalo side has a black substance on part of the buffalo. It might be paint. Will the peroxide-white vinegar solution take that off? What do you recommend?

[@CSAN]

Nice technique as an alternative to Nic-A-Date which also will devalue the coin as you know. Cool vid. Thanks

[@5280Adventures]

Exactly. I really tried to make that point. THIS WILL DEVALUE YOUR NICKELS! LOL

[@CSAN]

5280 Adventures what did you say? 👂 LOL You made the point quite well. Excellent video. I can’t wait to make some of that “blue water” 😂

[@5280Adventures]

+Coin Sense And Nonsense Yeah someone already said they enjoyed the blue kool aid product I created as well! LOL

[@kennethcrist2111]

The 1916 are worth money but I don’t think as much now lol but at least you can see the date

I need to try this Tony on the couple Buffalo Nicks I got the other day

[@5280Adventures]

Sweet! I hope you can see something on them

[@craigjorgensen4637]

That coin date acid destroys all value. I suppose it’s ok if a person is curious as to what the date is?

[@Mr.Coin1]

Yes and no, if it is a common date then it means nothing just worth about the same as a date less but if it is a rare date such as 1913 S then it will increase the value.

[@MountainStateAngler]

Thank you for the history and more important the cleaning tutorial

[@joelugo1812]

Do You have an E mail address that I can contact you? My 1913 S nickel was brown but I could see the date quite well. After using your method I noticed 2 things: 1. the nickel was very dull to look at and 2. the date on the nickel was harder to read. Any suggestion on how I can restore and improve the date and bring some shine to It?

[@squatchthumper7537]

Have a standing liberty quarter no date visible. Y'all think it would work on it?

[@5280Adventures]

I dont believe that this technique would work and I strongly would advise against trying it. An SLQ has significantly higher value, even with no date, compared to a dateless buff. I have plans for future vids on cleaning silver coins so maybe that would help you later on. Stay tuned...
