So is there a Buffalo Nickel teeny-tiny-variety book? I want to see someone else's 1927 Buffalo. When the OP's turns out to be the only specimen...
Coin shows = 25 little coin shops, all in cheek-to-jowl competition, and no place to hide, all fighting for your sticky, wrinkled, torn $50 bill....

VG - hardly any hair or wreath detail at all? No idea on price.
I'd like to find another 1927 imaged, to see if the "1" leans up against the "9" like the OP's coin. Value, $1.25 to $2 max, my opinion. I...
I looked at the medal again and it could be H and not M, however I found Google references to W & M, but was not looking for W & H. Maybe M died,...
Like a few others, I never think of copper pieces as cobs. I thought these looked too primitive (and too cheap) to be real. I sold a maravedi on...
Fish4, first to link comparative prices to this dog. For phony toning, 4x retail. Keep looking, seller's dreaming.
W&M, I believe...?
I found two other items, circa 1920s, of badges manufactured by the W&M Company of Newark, so that much is legit, they clearly were a metals...

I posted this last month, time to bring it back for another peek; a quarter-ton of fake Large Cents, Indian Head Cents, and Half Cents. [ATTACH]
At $3, they are surely ALL fakes. Here's a decent "cob" website and book: www.sedwickcoins.com
Grade doesn't matter; if you buy this coin, you'll have bad dreams the rest of your life. VF reverse, barely F-VF obverse, irregardless of the...
Coin shows is the right answer. Two dozen guys (or more) in fierce competition, ability to compare what's offered, and negotiate, and best of...
In my opinion, no. Ugly toning that will never look right, plus the reverse will never match. You can do better.
Noooooooooooooooooo, didn't notice! :eek:
Isn't that the whole point of fakers, however? Fake an obscure but pricey coin, and hope the buyer's greed overtakes his common sense?
Agree with others, not at all deceptive - bungled lettering, cruddy surfaces. The Dutch (and Germans) don't mint coins that slipshod....
May still prove to be a jeton, as someone speculated, as they can be the same size and weight and material of many coins.
