1929 Buffalo Nickel With Small Swastika On Cheek

Haven't seen one like that before.
Just a counter stamp, no real extra value though.

I'm with Conder.

It was considered a good luck symbol back then and also used by the Navajo people in their jewelry.
This was before the Nazis hijacked it and it became the hatred symbol it is today.

Yes it has extra value. I'm a counterstamp freak and if it was on ebay I would go after it hard, real hard. It's somebody's old good luck piece.

When I was a kid I saw a postcard of The Corn Palace in Mitchell, SD, which prominently featured a swastika in 1907. I also read that early aviators used it as a good luck symbol, and it was painted inside the nose cone of The Spirit of St. Louis.

I found a newspaper article from 1940 discussing a Buffalo found with a swastika on it; it was considered contemporary and Nazi-related. That's my opinion of this one, as well. The Nazis had a pretty solid following in America prior to our entry into the war, something we don't draw much attention to these days.

The swastika saw extensive use as a good luck symbol until about 1940. Some of the items in my collection were/are collector spoons, a cigar box cover, a boy scout manual, an ash tray, a checker from a set, a poker chip ... the list goes on. I still have some of the items, but sold my swastika token collection. I long entertained the thought of exhibiting the collection in order to show folks the traditional use of the swastika, stateside, prior to and during the rise of the Nazis. Because many folks tend to be very single-minded about the swastika, it being the sole propriety of the Nazis, I never did exhibit my collection. The symbol has come to epitomize hatred, and the true history of the swastika, prior to 1940, has been poisoned in the process.

One more thing. The OP's coin is an Indian Head Nickel. The swastika was an Indian or Native American symbol. Note that the swastika is stamped upon the Indian. If this coin was intended to promote Nazism, why was this coin chosen? IMHO, this example may have been produced to show the native connection; perhaps, for a boy scout who studied the native symbols to earn a merit badge.

I had to read about that too. In Southeast Asia it was a symbol of good luck. In Buddhism, it was the symbol for eternity and in Hinduism the symbol of God. It's use has been traced back thousands of years B.C.E.
