A couple things bother me about this coin. First is the shape of the c in cents above the mint mark. The other is the cuts on the obverse across the cheek and nose. I'd think these cuts would drop the grade to a details response from a TPG. The shape in the c makes me worry that the mint mark was added and the c was modified in the process. I'd like to see what others think on this but I'd be very suspicious based on the what I'm seeing.

I can't recall ever seeing a Buffalo nickel with a C like that in CENTS either, something is weird, it's not a hit or PMD that made it like that. it's pretty close to the mintmark making it more suspicious. Weakly struck on the obverse, solid EF grade on the reverse. Is this the 3 1/2 leg variety FS-901? Don't have a cherry pickers book close by now.
