Sandon Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Welcome to the NGC chat board. This is clearly damage. Based on the photos, it appears that someone drilled or punched a hole into this 1936 Buffalo nickel and then filled the hole with glue or some other reddish substance. Soaking the coin in acetone might remove this substance, though a holed common date coin would be of little value.

powermad5000 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Hello and welcome to the forum! Well, this is an entertaining thread! As for the coin, maybe you could fashion it into a slip sinker for fishing. Who knows, maybe this tragedy in the numismatic world can be turned into a record catch in the angling world.
