1913 Buffalo Nickel and odd coin ???

Bigrig52

I bought a whole bunch of coins and books of coins from a old man a few weeks ago and the nickel 1913 is one coin i found in one of the books...The other coin 1907 i got from my grandmother (102 yrs old ) and can't figure out what it is..any idea????

The coin looks Polish. Perhaps you should try the World Coin Forum instead of the U.S. Coin Forum.

Cool buffalo!

To hazard a guess at the other coin--I think it is Russian. Their coins often have the two-headed eagle. Of course, other countries had two headed eagles as well.

It's got to be Russian.

It's a high-grade Buffalo, that's for sure. Maybe MS. Shamika's thought that it may have been polished could very well be right, but that glare could also be the light and angle. Want to try to take more pix, lighting it differently and altering the camera settings?

Guy - That's Polish as in Poland.

I thought Shamika was saying that the foreign coin looked like it might be from Poland.

The buffalo does look nice. Might I suggest that the new pics you take be cropped so you can see the whole coin?

The foreign coin is an Austrian 2 Heller in bronze.
