khnkdn New Member United States 3 Posts	Posted Today 8H 11M ago I got a coin in a dime roll from the bank that is a little smaller than a dime. It has the look of a Buffalo nickle, Indian head on front, buffalo on back and has a date of 1930. The other distinct feature are the letters COP on the head of the Indian. Any idea what this is?

jbuck Moderator United States 198520 Posts	Posted Today 7H 47M ago I agree, it is a replica. Odd that it is smaller than a dime and not nickel sized, but still a fun find.

Sap Moderator Australia 17040 Posts	Posted Today 3H 52M ago If it's miniature and has COPY stamped on it, I would presume it to be a piece of play money. "1930" is likely nowhere near the actual date of manufacture; the presence of the prominent word COPY clearly points towards it being made after the passage of the Hobby Protection Act in 1973 requiring replicas to bear this specific word in order to be legally sold in or imported into the US.
