foundinrolls Pillar of the Community United States 3507 Posts	Posted 09/11/2007 12:52 am No it's not. On a real one, the P of PLURIBUS and the U of UNUM do not touch the bison's back. This will sound funny but your P and U are too close to the back. The leg was tooled somehow. Also, the genitalia is oddly pointed on a real 3-legged Buffalo nickel. The last thing is that there are these funny little raised areas under the buffalo that are not on this coin and should be. Not to be crass, we call it the buffalo peeing as it looks like little droplets in the fields under the bison. This one is definitely not legit. Thanks, Bill Report this Post to the Staff

When I took the picture I noticed the leg looked like someone had helped it "go away". thats why I left it in the 45 year old holder. Report this Post to the Staff
