Found in a $200 Nickel Bag While Searching for Silver - A Rare Buffalo?

I have a deal with one of my credit unions that I take their bagged and rolled coin and search all of it. Unfortunately I found no war nickels which are my main focus in nickels, but I did find three Buffers - two dateless and the centre one with a partial date of 192+ and the last numeral is either a 0 or a 6 - and to top it off, flipping it over it has a clear on the coin but not so much in my lousy cell phone picture S mintmark.
I only found one silver dime in all the dimes, but again a lot of wheats in the cents, including a 1909 plain and a 1919-S.
What do you think about the centre coin? '20 or '26?

I think I see a "6" there too! if not an "8", but definately doesn't look like a "0". Nice find!
Looks like a 26 S to me!
I could tell for sure in hand probably but it looks like a 25 or a '29 to me.
Maybe it's the unknown 8 over 6 variety....?
I'm in the 26 camp. Leading edge of the last numeral appears straight with no separations or bulges. Nice find .

Looks like 1926
1926 gets my vote.
Based on the picture... enlarged... I see it as a 6.... 1926S gets my vote.... Cheers, RickO
It's a 26.
