Value of acid dated 1913-s type 2 nickel

So I am in the process of putting together a set of acid dated buffs and have at least one 13-s type 2.

I know it is not a huge deal but cool nonetheless. I thought I saw at least more so may be I have a few?

I think you will have a lot of trouble finding the later dates. I'd like to find a 16/16 for my set.

I inherited 800 Buffalo nickels several years ago that my mom pulled from circulation in the early 1950s. I acid dated all the mintmarked ones. I sold quite a few of the better dates on eBay for 10% to 30% of the Good value. PM if you need some from the teens, lol. I never had time to sell them all.

$35 - $50+ dependent upon how well the restoration looks. In the past I averaged around $40+ when I was selling 13-S T2's.

I have almost all restored dates and MM's from the teens and 20's but very few from the 30's. I had 5 18/7-D's (sold 3 still have 2) but never had the 16/16.

The 1916/16 can be identified without the date by the doubling of the feathers and other die characteristics since it's a DDO. Don't use acid on this coin since it can be slabbed without the date based on the die characteristics which remain long after the date is worn off.
