Thanks. The date is clear. Click on view larger and enlarge. The dates on these coins are tge first thing to wear off, so it's difficult to find one so old with a clear date. It is also one of the things most people look at first to determine the value or grade of the coin. The second thing people check is the horn on the buffalo head because that also wears easily and this one still has horn, so it is a better grade than most of the buffalo nickels I see here.
