Hmm...another option might be a worn die. The CuNi planchets were especially hard on dies.
I agree with the others, it would help to see more detail.

Seeing how there's a raised rim on the reverse, that's an interesting one!

That's a pretty cool find!

I would think the CBH collectors would be interested in that one.

I'd say fake. The rims are unusually strong for a buffalo...

I'm hardly an expert on these coins, and the rims got my immediate attention too...and the die radius where it approaches the edge is odd as well.

I have the Nikkor 60mm f2.8, and here's an example of what it does:

The only downside to the 60 is lighting will be a bit trickier due to cast shadows on the coin. A 105 will give you more working distance. Good luck!

Interesting...is that just dirt, or a metal "ear" on the 8 in the date?

Congrats--nice coin!

Hmm...I really don't know, it was just my quick take that the coin seemed "rough", but maybe it's just the strike?

I should do an overlay to get a better handle. In any case--an interesting coin!

FYI--I find the date 1936 interesting, because that's when Germany was making counterfeit US and UK currency--not sure about coins, though!

Wow...what a cool find!

I'm not a collector of these, but my first impression was the Bison design is really off.
1936, hmmm....that's an intriguing date, I wonder if this forgery is documented?

Probably made in America.

Agreed--and by someone with inadequate knowledge. Look at the eagle on the reverse--that's not from the 3R period.

Hmmm...I'm unsure on MAD, because that's usually reserved for the obverse. The anvil die is stationary.
I might ask--what does the edge milling look like in the areas with that raised lip? I'm curious what the error guys will say.
