It's amazing to me what details you all know and can pick out of the coins; maybe someday for me... Thanks!  |

In spite of it's beauty, this one looks altered.

JUST WANTED TO THANK EVERYONE FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS ON THESE 2 COINS, TURNS OUT THE TOP PHOTO IS A LEGITIMATE 1936 D 3 1/2 LEG Buffalo nickel (note the hind leg going into the rim, the front leg missing the lower hock, etc). westernsky suggested I send it to ANACS for authentication; it came back today and is the REAL THING! Very Excited about my First Big Find!     |

Good for you! Congrats! Yes, these 36-D 3 1/2 leggers can still be found ...along with the 1935-P DDR's and the occasional 1937-D 3 legger ....in junk boxes and in bulk nickel searches. It is amazing what dealers sometimes overlook. Very cool! |

By the way, the "corroded" comment on the slab is probably due to the green spot at the 12 o'clock position on the reverse (unless there is something worse on the obverse). I STILL like these things!

Congrats! That's a tough one to find-I've only cherried two in 27 years of looking.

Very useful, especially like Westernsky's points about the D touching the E in FIVE and right hind limb disappearing into mound. There is a current listing on ebay (item 202238575296) for a 1937 D 3 legger that is PGCS certified (34496953) as genuine 3 legs variety (VF25 priced at$625). The ebay picture of the reverse shows definite separation between the D and the E, and the right hind leg goes down to the mound. Do you agree with my view of the image? Could this be an error by PCGS or am I missing something? |

Kidney... First off ...  ... This thread is about the 36D 3 1/2 leg variety. The ebay item you linked to is a 1937-D 3-leg variety. Both coins share some of the same characteristics of being struck with abraded dies. The Denver Mint was notorious for being aggressive when repairing clashed dies. I think PCGS has the ebay 1937-D 3 legger labeled correctly. Again, welcome to the Community and we look forward to your participation! |
