nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15422 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 4:33 pm That is not the 3-1/2 leg variety IMHO. On a true coin, the front right leg of the Buffalo has been polished away between the hoof and the body ... while on this coin those details are readily apparent. Could very well be MS ... Buffalo nickels are famous for weak strike issues. David Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
asimpson91 Valued Member United States 286 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 4:43 pm oh, I was under the impression that the 3-1/2 leg variety on the 37-D was the rear leg as seen in popes book. Report this Post to the Staff
Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/12/2012 4:46 pm That's a very nice coin but it is not the 3 1/2 legged one -- sorry. As nickelsearcher wrote -- it is the front leg that is missing. But you still have a very nice coin. Report this Post to the Staff
