Whats going on with the third feather on this one? Die polished or perhaps considered a 2 1/2 feather?

That's a diagnostic for a 3-leg. Broken 3rd feather.

Thanks Jerry, thats good to know. I have seen others, all with the telltale pee stream and the rough hind leg but normal on the third feather. First time I am seeing the partial feather here. Congrats!

Separation of the 3rd feather was due to die polishing. As Jerry Picker mentioned, a good DM for the 3 leg. Not enough abrading of the 3rd to be considered a 2 1/2 feather though. Not trying to hijack the thread, but below is an example of a 37-D 2 1/2 Feather.

Looks like an attractive example. I am far from an expert on buffalos and this one quickly blew past what I was comfortable bidding on it. I think you may have done well with this one @Jerry Picker.

ANACS deemed it AU Cleaned. Ty2020b nailed it.

The first set of photo makes me think is MS, the second set said AU, but difficult to say cleaned or not.

Nice coin.
