Could this be a possible counterfeit Buffalo nickel ?

    This date looks like nothing I've ever saw on a buffalo nickel. Quite the space between the digits . And the mint mark has the same funny look to it ... I'm sure there's a a few collectors of the series that might be able to help .

    Most likely no , the seller doesn't take returns . I should have known better with the bad photos . Bummed that I will still have to find it for my album .

    Slingshot sounds good. Definitely not a Boomerang. :blackeye::doctor:

    Did you receive it 1-3 days ago? If so, there is still hope.
