My mother and I are having some questions about the front right leg and also possible mint mark error ? No info is too small everything is appreciated. Any thoughts ? * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/13/2018 11:33 pm The area I circled is metal that has been moved by a hit (direction of arrow). I see nothing wrong or of interest on the front leg. Maybe you are thinking of the '36D 3 and a half legged error? On the Denver mints for the 36 and 37. Report this Post to the Staff
clarapedrero1989 Valued Member United States 173 Posts	Posted 05/13/2018 11:53 pm I am aware of the 3 1/2 legs buffalo but compared to a regular buffalo I noticed a difference in that front leg looks to be disformed to me in a way. Is there a specific name for the error on the mint or is that mint considered normal ? Report this Post to the Staff

spru Bedrock of the Community United States 12477 Posts	Posted 05/14/2018 01:29 am I think coop and Crazyb0 pretty much covered it. The MM may have taken a hit or have been worn down and the leg looks normal to me with circulation wear. Keep searching!

If you can tone down the lighting a bit it would reduce the glare. Also, a 14% gray scale background would be better than the red. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
