2014Cent Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 01/28/2015 2:41 pm There is what looks like an extra piece of metal on the Buffalo's head that was struck into the coin. What do you guys think happened here? Did part of the rim fall off and get struck into the coin? Report this Post to the Staff

2014Cent Valued Member United States 90 Posts	Posted 01/28/2015 3:47 pm I was thinking that too except that the anomaly is raised and looks like it was separated from the coin at one time. Report this Post to the Staff

OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 01/28/2015 4:44 pm It could be a piece that got dislodged from the rim, partially attached and is pressed on the surface. However, given the wear, I'm surprised that it could hang on. Take something soft and non metallic like the cap of a pen, give it a little shove from the side and see if it moves.

I just moved it with my fingernail! I left it attached though. Any extra value on something like this? Edited by 2014Cent 01/28/2015 11:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff
OldSkoolMadSkilz Pillar of the Community United States 2077 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 01:44 am It's just damage. Unless of course, you pitch it as "the amazing burr that hung on for 75 years." Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 01/29/2015 12:36 pm Honestly, I don't know if I see enough displaced metal on the rim to account for that whole "burr." I almost lean toward thinking it's a sliver of something that got caught up in the strike. Report this Post to the Staff
