1916-s skinny buffalo ole time counterfeit buffalo nickel
for those who have never seen one, been around for a long time.
still seems to fool a lot of collectors and dealers.

Definitely looks odd, if it is a contemporary counterfeit it looks like it’s spent some time in circulation.
Type collector, mainly into Seated. -formerly Ownerofawheatiehorde. Good BST transactions with: mirabela, OKCC, MICHAELDIXON, Gerard
There is no F on this coin
and a die break on the obverse near 9 o clock
contour of the bison;s front leg is different from a genuine specimen

Here's another picture provided by the late Ron Pope.

That's a neat one !
The pitting on the reverse would be a tip off on some thing to start with. Thanks for sharing 👍
Have another that was acquired after these were photographed. Top right coin is missing the crack across the large feather and has a significantly weaker leg.
Just picked off this one.
The seller's pics are awful, yet easily determined to be a contemporary counterfeit.
