      why does it matter when you Nika date a coin to get a date, as no ones ever going to know until they Nika date the coin to get the date or mint mark for slick coins, if you are doing the hard work you should atleast get better deal in my opinion, which l know means 0. common sense.

    Hunted my first box of nickles in a long time today, mainly looking for buffalos and silver, and found a 1950D. I don't really collect nickles so If I hadn't been watching your nickle hunts, I wouldn't have known it was the key date. Always fun watching your channel

    Hey Rob, found a slick buff in today's hunt. Recently bought the trusty Nic-A-Date and practiced on a few ones. Was already ready to hit this one when I looked at the reverse and noticed the raised mound. And after further inspection saw the S mint mark. G4 has it at $65, glad I was smart enough to watch your videos and learn from the master before making a costly mistake. Hope you're feeling well, and as always, keep it up brother!

    I like to search through accumulations of dateless Buffaloes with mintmarks. Like you, I found that the majority are considered 'common', relatively speaking. Once I bought an accumulation of 60 (3 rolls) of dateless Buffalo nickels which, after using Nic-A-Date virtually on the Type 2s, all were from the teens. In the Type Is I got 6 1913-S and 8 1913-D plus another 10 1913-P which I didn't need to use Nic-A-Date. In the others I used Nic-A-Date and I found 4 1913-D Type II, 1 1914-D, 2 1915-S, 2 1921-S and 1 1924-S. And to top it off, I got several 2 Feather varieties, including a 1917-S, 2 1918-S, a 1919-D, a 1920-S, a 1925-S, and a few others.

    My best buffalo nickels finds were a 1913-s V2 and a 1931-s coin roll hunting. And then I found a 1921-s in a buffalo nickel bin at a coin shop. Unfortunately I had to acid treat the 1913-s V2 but it was still worth about $40. The 1931-s was in fantastic shape, about XF-45 condition. Love nic-a-dating buffaloes, nice you found some awesome dates!

    Instead of using Nicadate , you should just use muriatic acid (aka: pool acid) and/or nitric acid (but be very careful with these acids as they’re both a lot stronger than Nicadate) but the results will be a lot more consistent and accurate.
