All,
I found this 1936 Buffalo Nickel, which was never completely cut from the forge...has anyone seen anything like this? I found others, but this peaked my interest...

Looks like the nickel was inserted into the metal. Almost looks like maybe it was a part of a bolo tie. The back side looks like it was attached to something once.
The minting process does not include this.
The coin was properly struck and then mounted/inserted for some sort of jewelry or accessory.
It is worth 5 Cents.
Belt buckle?
It's a keyring.
I have one exactly like it with the same shape for the outer metal holder and same pattern on the metal. In other words, this is just a coin placed inside the cutout and sold by the thousands at tie, shoe and accessory stores over the decades.

@Gogit8e .... Welcome aboard.... The nickel was inserted into the holder... As @TomB said, for a keyring. No numismatic premium....Cheers, RickO
can such nickel be removed without damaging it?
Or can the ring element be re-installed?
If the nickel can be removed without damaging the edge it should be worth more than 5c. Possibly 20c. .
The nickel rim is usually damaged when inserted.
I wouldn't remove it.
It's better as is. IMHOP.
Don't make the same mistake that the Cleveland Indians made by removing the Indian.

i had suggested the nickname Tribe as the new nickname of the Indians while preserving their history.
Otherwise too poltically correct.
I lost my teams name when the current tides of outrage took it out to sea. Now we have no name and no nick name. I maintain they should have changed their motto instead of their name. If they had just changed the Indian to a potato they could have left redskin alone

LOL but so true.
May have been a money clip with the clip missing

How cool if you popped it out and it was a three-legged?
Wasn't there a collector here not too long ago that found a three-legged attached to a charm bracelet?

They did make similar shaped keyrings like stated but there would have been a loop added to it
