Hello, My daughter and I are very new to collecting coins. Actually we have never collected coins. My grandfather left me a bag of old miscellaneous coins and as we were looking through them my daughter found this buffalo nickel and asked why it was different. I don't have a clue so I thought I would post a picture on here and see what the experts had to say about it. This nickel has a circle under it's belly and none of the others have it. Can anybody explain how it got there? I apologize for the bad pic, I not any good with a camera.
Hi, It was added post Mint and as such is a damage of some sort. The metal has been moved under the circle so I suspect a punch was used. Thanks, Bill
Hi, No problem and welcome! I hope you and your daughter stick around! We are happy to help! Have Fun, Bill

Yes post mint damage some kind of punch device like foundinrolls said i agree. The way people ruin our currency is a shame Billy
