Your theory on what happened to this Buffalo nickel?

My thinking is it was in a fire and the mark on the obverse is another- possibly a silver coin- that was on top of this one causing part of that coin to melt on this host coin.

Any other possibilities?

I just purchased this one as I think it is interesting and looks to have been in a mint state condition before the fire.
I am ready to be proven wrong though!
