The Indian head Buffalo nickel missing a date is usually considered a damaged coin, and its value can be lower than a typical Buffalo nickel. The worth would depend on other factors like condition, mintmark, and any identifiable features on the coin. Consult with a professional coin dealer or appraiser for an accurate assessment.
Without a date the coin has very little numismatic value. These usually end up in a grab-box at shows or hobby shops where the coins sell for 15 to 25 cents as curiosities. In spite of its artistic beauty the Indian Head design had a major flaw when first designed - the date was raised above the rest of the image so it received the greatest amount of wear. In the mid-1920s the mint revised the coin so the date area would be slightly recessed. After that a lot more kept their dates. There's a product called Nic-A-Date that can help recover a worn date. Nickel is a hard metal requiring high striking pressure that forces some of the image to "telegraph" into the lower parts of the coin blank. Nic-A-Date is a mild acid that etches away some of the unforced metal around the date to reveal the telegraphed image. However, collectors universally agree that Nic-A-Date damages a coin so it will not have any additional value above that grab-bag figure. P.S. To clear up confusion, the coin's name is nickel rather than "nickle"
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.
