Before my Nic-A-Date arrives, I figured I’d have nothing to lose to soak the 3 Datless Buffalo Nickels I’ve found in the last 2 weeks of nickel boxes in vinegar. Two of them, a Mint-less and an S, have been soaking since 8/19. A second S has been soaking since 8/26. Upon inspection today, I feel I’m able to be 90% certain what the dates are. Although none are a 1921S, I came really close!
1918
1919S
1920S
I've added salt to my vinegar today to see if that accelerates anything. I've got 2 more boxes of nickels along with $1000 in dimes coming this Thursday, as well as a strap of $2 bills to see if I can dig up any red seals, or at least get random serial numbers. If I can get random serial numbers I know my bank isn't sourcing from bills fresh from the BEP/Fed and I can keep grabbing a strap a week. Once I find some red seals I'll be looking to trade for some junk silver, so keep your eyes on me if you're interested.
