One thing is for sure..... whomever counter stamped it had no idea that it was a 3-legged Buffalo nickel!

I once owned a 1909-SVDB cent that had a hole drilled in the field right in front of Abe's nose.

People do crazy stuff!

Guess it's a lot better than drilling the s

Really cool Buffalo nickel btw. Nice Cud on the reverse.

Edit: My apologies about calling that a Cud on the reverse. I see my mistake and I now know for the next coin

I'm thinking that suspected Cud's actually PMD. It looks to me like the nickel was put in a vice; this, possibly to be stamped?

E .... S .... Enigmatic Stamp

What a shame. Still a cool keeper, though!

That's definitely not a Cud. Note the distortion of the letters that have been pushed inward.

I'm not convinced it's a 3 legger.

Tell me your concern. The coin does not have a leg (although it might seem that it does in my washed out photos), the reverse leg it moth-eaten, and the E and P in E Pluribus Unum are not touching the bisons back.

Maybe it is the exposure of the image but the back leg doesn't look as "motheaten" as it should, and I am not seeing the heavy die wear on the indians neck.
