    I have been searching everywhere for something significant to own. And after searching through a good $400-500 worth of Fed rolls and common rolls i was bored and went through coins my mom gave me a long time ago and some coins I had that were just old.
    I was looking through me Indian head buffalo nickels and examined one of several that have no date on them, when I saw strange markings under the chin of the Indian. Grabbing my magnifying glass, I looked closer and saw it was letters. Closer yet and I saw that they looked like U N etc. except they were upside down and backwards, so I took some pictures, then screen shot one, flipped the image then turned it upside down and it is UNUM and what appears to be part of E Pluribus. Also, where liberty should be is a mess that I can't make out but it is not right.
    I am curious as to everyone's thoughts on this one? IMG_2945.jpg IMG_2946.jpg IMG_2951.jpg IMG_2941.jpg IMG_2940.jpg

    A clashed die, which is nice but common in Buffalo Nickels.

    From the title I thought @Jason Hunnicutt was having a discussion with my
    wife about me.
