    Cleaned, polished, grade around VG-10 with a full date, which is unusual, but not rare. The obverse looks F-12.

    Yes, it has been buffed or polished. I have owned two keychains that housed Buffalo nickels in the fob portion and both nickels ended up looking like that one after a few years. Therefore, I could easily believe that this spent time in a keychain.

    If you are going to keep your coin in the current
    holder, flatten the staples to avoid future damage
    ( scratching) .

    Guess you should just call this coin a “buffed-a-lo” nickel.

    Certainly appears to have been buffed... @TomB has a good input... Cheers, RickO
