Would PCGS authenticate a date restored 1918/7 Buffalo 5C?

    probably genuine-d/authenticated but not graded.

    Well that's a given it won't grade, but they may have a policy on those. I don't recall ever seeing one in a genuine slab.

    It's weird how that blob appears only on the date- is that normal or sign of something along with the black mold looking spots? image

    I am almost positive I have seen acid restored 18/7-D in PCGS holders however, I do not believe the coin you posted is an over date.

    the blob is heavy acid treating. It micht help to soak the coin in hot water and baking soda for a day to help neutralize the acid and reduce the appearance of the blob.

    It should get a detail grade.

    soaking the coin will also help stabilize the acid treated areas and reduce the future corrosion that will occur. Of course don't touch it with your fingers after soaking if you do so and rinse well. I like the coin I want one my self thought I had one but it was a no go.

    OR,

    maybe you should just ACID etch the rest of the coin?

    oh, yeah, forgot the real message, I agee with previous poste that does NOT appear to be the overdate.

    the center opening of the bottom loop of the 8 is too large.

    Great example of "nic-a-date" valuable in hunting for these rarities!As, to whether our host would slab it? Even a Genuine would be worth the price,don't you think? Nice find.image

    I've seen one in an ANACS holder, noted as acid treated and details graded. I would expect PCGS would slab an acid treated coin as genuine if they were certain it was the overdate, but the coin in the OP is not the overdate IMHO.

    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.

    The trick with Nic-a-Date is to not leave the acid on too long. You want to bring out the date without leaving a too dark of a stain on the date area.

    yes, but they wont grade it.
  • lostincoinslostincoins Posts: 4,278 ✭
    the holder will state acid treated and as above be details

    Not a genuine overdate imo.

    This is definitely not the 1818/7 coin.

    The top opening should be half-moon shape. So, it's not a 1918/7-D.
