AnswerThere are some products that claim they can restore such dates, but most, if not all, of these are acids that will eliminate any collectible value of the coin.

This rubbing-off of the date is common with circulated Indian head nickels, also called "buffalo nickels" before the 2005 release of the bison-reverse "Westward Journey" series nickel.

That being said however there is a market for restored date coins. Granted a coin with an authentic date can be worth $200 and the restored date maybe $40 or $50. If you consider that a no-date coin is worth $0.10 to $0.15 each then you are not really losing anything to nic-a-date the coin and may find a tough date.

It may be best to consult a professional coin restorer or numismatist for restoring the date on an Indian head nickel where it has been completely worn off. Attempting to restore it yourself may further damage the coin's value. Professional restorers can use specialized techniques to reveal the date without harming the coin's integrity.
