[QUOTE="CollectorsConcierge, post: 3337582, member: 101085"]Hello and greetings, I’m a new member and apparently I’ve already violated the rules so my apologies. I joined yesterday but read over the rules this morning and violated rule number three subsection C because I left my email contact in my first post. I purchased estates and came across this strange buffalo nickel. I consider myself an amateur numismatist I have a bunch of reference books but I can’t find anything relating to this nickel in any of my books or on the Internet. I would love someone to send me in a direction to do more research or if you happen to of heard about this type of nickel please share your knowledge. I thought I was cleaning off a bit of gunk on the back of the nickel when actually the color of the nickel chipped off a little.
