Proof Buffalo-damaged?

[prudden]

The code 98 on the label means damaged.They don't specify.But,like it says in the ad.One spot on the rim at 10'oclock. Can this be the reason for the Genuine label? Phooey!! Well,it's still bid pretty high.

looks like some scratching on the bottom obverse rim, like it was laying face down on the concrete and stepped on? Or is that something else?

Seems to be a lack of Information concerning this Indian head nickel in the absents of a "grade" genuine? no doubt.

I'd be willing to bet that so-called-spot is actually the remants of some type of pitting corrosion, which will stand out like a sore thumb once in hand.

It looks like a strikethrough just above and to the left of the bisons hip.

I agree with comment about the hole in the buffalo's hip, and there is a green corrosion spot at 11 o'clock which the seller mentioned.
