Actually we have never collected coins. My grandfather left me a bag of old miscellaneous coins and as we were looking through them my daughter found this buffalo nickel and asked why it was different. I don't have a clue so I thought I would post a picture on here and see what the experts had to say about it. This nickel has a circle under it's belly and none of the others have it. Can anybody explain how it got there? I apologize for the bad pic, I not any good with a camera.

The metal has been moved under the circle so I suspect a punch was used. Thanks, Bill   11-07-2009, 12:58 AM   #4 (permalink) srwright66 Junior Member   Join Date: Nov 2009 Posts: 2 That makes sense.
