Is this a weak strike or damage?

    I've seen some buffalos with weak strikes that look like this, but I can't tell with this one. What do you guys think?

    Just about all of the Buffs from the '20s are known for weak strikes. But in this case I not only think that the coin was weakly struck, I think it was damaged as well - in particular the obverse.

    I agree with GD(No suprise there;) ) Liberty in particular looks damaged.

    I think someone was either starting to make a love token, or a hobo nickel perhaps.
