19?? buffalo

[SHERMANVILLE ILLINOIS]

Think I posted these coins a few weeks
ago.



Don't do much on cleaning any coins I
find.

Think DeKalb mentioned putting silver in
'ketchup'. So...............................

This coin had no date and after an overnight
bath a bit came out.





Do not want to touch it any more. No acids.
Buffalo dates seem to be always bad.

Any idea on date 1919?,1929?, or not?

Tried playing with the photo but not much help.

Thanks.

all have a good un......

Looks like 1919.

I dont think there is enough room between the 2 "9"s for anything beside a 1.

1919 my vote -vinager is in ketsup (mildly acidic) is what caused it to clean up. Ivan

Yours is 1919. Your "9" does not cross the braid like on the 1929... see the below examples I put together, in addition like everyone else said; "no room for the 2".

i agree with the others, 1919.

Just to be different - I think it's 2029. But to be serious for a moment, no doubt about it - 1919. Ketchup is good for cleaning coins and silverware, but Tarn-X is faster!!! (Just don't leave your stuff in it for more than 2 seconds).
