Here's a NGC VF-25 for less money. http://www.hcc-coin.com/store/p-287...gc-vf25.aspx

Look for these features on a genuine 37-D 3 legged.
-The rear leg on a genuine "three leg" will appear to have more metal gone than on the normal coin.
-It will have a series of raised dots under the belly that do not appear on the normal coin.
-Lastly look at the "P" in the word Pluribus and the "U" in the word Unum found on the left side of the buffalo. On a genuine "three leg," they will be further away from the buffalo's back than on a normal 1937-D.

Those characteristics are on that particular reverse die.

The missing foreleg, space between the motto and the buffalo, and the "motheaten" appearance of the rear leg are all a result of the excessive die polishing this die underwent. (The dots below the buffalos belly are more likely damage to the specific die.) Any other reverse die would show the same characteristics if it was polished to such an extent. Of course if another die had been polished that much we would surely have more than just one date for a three legged buffalo.
