Rare Buffalo Indian Head Nickel!

Weight should be 5 grams if this a normal weight coin.
But most often the reverse was polished off the coin, making it lighter than normal, removing the design.
So if less than the 5 grams the coin was probably altered.
If the obverse has a rim and the reverse doesn't, another clue that it was removed from the surface of the coin.
If you see fine scratches, that is also a clue that it was removed.
To be missing the opposite, is not a common thing to find unless the coin was altered.
