Another thought - it could be that a coin or two was/were used to shim a wobbly table/stool/step ladder.
Not too bad...I caught a 1946 LWC in change today along with my first 2020D Jefferson (I'm sure if I were CRH, I'd have found many sooner). Fun...
I took a break too...lasted about 30 years. ;)
That's one you don't have to worry about. The WAMs were restricted to the Philly mint only. Do go nuts...until you have to!
Bradley - here's a link (PCGS Photograde Online - Estimating Coin Grades Has Never Been Easier) to a useful resource you can get online. But...

The effect that you see there is the result of a tiny wobble during the stroke that coined your coin. The slight movement created a tiny swipe...
This is a good one to explore especially in light of the find earlier in the thread. May take some experimentation, but it would be nice to know...
I see damage to the O, the D, the W and the E.
Possibly. It's difficult to say from a photo but relative to the earlier post by Datdarenickelguy...it looks similar. I can identify a 1959...
To add to the stats - Consecutive years/mms - 1935 to Present (85 years...but the 2021's are not far off) Most common Buffalo - 1936 (13 so far)...
