It's an acid treated date but it appears to be an 18/7
What do you think?
Is it worth sending to ANACS..?

    It sure does look like the overdate to me.

    Looks promising.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Cool find hope it turns out positive for you. What made you decide to treat the nickle. Was it dateless? Or where there a few digits showing to make it worth a try?

    Immediate impression was yes, hope so.

    The bad thing is it came acid treated, I think the date was strong enough before someone
    treated it. image

    I wonder if you let the coin wear down in your pocket for awhile if it would wear down to an acceptable state. Even light wear should take away the acid wash look, but you do risk further damage and/or losing the coin.

    I was thinking the same thing. Might actually be worth more to someone with orignality "restored".

    Is there anything someone like NCS can do about the acid treatment? If not, yeah -- I'd send it to ANACS to at least get authentication.

    Looks good to me as well. I know a dealer who bought four of these with restored dates, ANACS will holder them in a net graded holder and there is absolutely a market for them. Great snag.

    Nothing can be done to improve the appearance. DO NOT put it in your pocket-you'll just have to re-restore it.

    I took mine around to the coin show last weekend, a couple of dealers said "what a shame, its been acid treated". Maybe they would prefer it with no dateimage----------------BigE

    You got yourself a genuine overdate.....Congratulations!!

    Look very closley at the point where the Indian's braid meets the neck.

    You will see a small die crack in the protected area there.

    That is the diagnostic for the coin.

    at what part of the braid that meets the neck are you pointing to?
    help me pin-point that area
