Sometimes a coin is so worn that you can't read the date. These coins are called junk, but if it is silver, it is still worth the silver weight.
What is the best way to sell old coins?
It depends how much you have and what type of coins you have. Are they collector coins (as in, high grades, key dates, rare coins) or are they junk silver coins (as in, worn silver quarters from the 40s, silver dimes from the 50s, etc.). If they are collector coins, it is better to sell to a reputable dealer. If they are junk silver coins craigslist and eBay are your friends, but dealers and jewelery stores will usually buy them too. Don't go to places like "Cash 4 Gold" or other "Hotel Lobby" sellers. They will often times take 50% or more off the true value of your coins.

Do banks buy silver?
Most banks in the United States are not going to buy silver from you. Depending on what kind of silver you have, you have a few options. "Junk" silver (common-date coins, coins too worn to identify, etc.) can be sold through a pawn shop, metal dealer, or sometimes a jeweler. Be prepared to only get 50-60% of the raw metal value, though. High-quality common silver coins or scarcer dates should be evaluated by a coin dealer. You can get higher prices from a site such as eBay but you have to do more work. A dealer may buy the coins but again you'll only receive wholesale prices.

What chemical will restore worn dates to silver coins and where can I buy it?
It sounds like you're looking for the equivalent of Nic-A-Date, an acid that's used to bring up the dates on worn buffalo nickels. However, silver is a much softer metal than nickel and to the best of my knowledge there is no similar product that can be used on silver coins because it would melt too much of the surrounding metal. In any case coins that have been treated with Nic-A-Date are considered to be damaged so they don't gain any collector value. Dateless coins are effectively "culls" that are worth either their face value or their precious metal content, whichever is higher, but they have no extra value to collectors.
