    Hey Folks, to the best of my knowledge, this is a discovery coin!

    It’s a “1926 buffalo nickel” made on German silver.

    I pulled this out of circulation a year or two ago but hadn’t really gotten around to studying it.

    I sent it to someone who studies them and did an XRF scan. He confirmed it was common to use German silver for contemporary counterfeits.

    Feel free to comment or share your own counterfeit coins!
