Possible 3 Legged 1937 D Indian Head Buffalo Nickel ?

Sorry to say but I believe its real thanks for all your professional opinions though. Although I will do a little bit more homework on it but otherwise I am going to say Nice find Man good job .

I should also mention. That I'm far from an expert in these, when I said it was a 3 legged buffalo I should have mentioned that I wasn't certain of authenticity, just that it wasn't a 4 legged buffalo.

I don't ever say that they are 100% real legit varieties or errors I always state that I feel like I see certain things and turn toward this community to help me understand what it is on those coins that I may be seeing.

I read a lot of information and watch tons of youtube videos, and look at ebay, Etsy, etc to see and gather information and understand on what other people point out or share about the coins they find or know about through photos and videos pointing them out and claiming them to be a variety or error. I am totally 100% new to anything involving the numismatic scene; because of that, all my posts, and the lack of quality photos I use are just me posting coins that I find and have questions about. That's where I lean toward this awesome coin community forum that someone created for all numismatists and newbies to join and become apart of a family of coin and currency hobbyists. So when I found the coin community forum and thought I was lucky enough to become apart of such a family being new to all the aspects involving coins and currency I posted my finds of the things I believed to see here to get real actual opinions on what I believed I was seeing.

When you listen to, and watch youtube videos, they show and talk about a lot of random varieties & errors that are out there somewhere waiting to be found, and most of the pictures I see on ebay, Etsy and other sites of coins marketplaces don't even look like the errors or anything they are claiming the coins to be and some of those photos are just as low quality as mine.

It's not like I'm trying to get some high dollar price tag trying to up-sell bull crap lies about the coins I post, I am just simply asking questions in hopes of finding answers. Yes, I know everyone has there own opinion which is great, more opinions is just more insight and knowledge for myself to become familiar with.But, the coins I have posted here I never claimed to be anything more then what I am seeing and asking for others opinions on the subject.

However, some of you on here have came at me pretty sideways with the responses.It's not always what someones says, its how you perceive it. Not everyone is a full blown coin expert when coming into your coin community family, I had never seen a coin for more then just its face value before. Well, I have learned coins and currency have value beyond metal and face value. They have history, and collectible value which I have been trying to learn more about so that I may someday pass that down to my daughters and son.

Speaking for myself, it's a great hobby that I am trying to become apart of. I didn't have anyone introduce the hobby to me or pass down the knowledge from a young age.

Yet most of what I hear and see is mind boggling and a little difficult to get a complete understanding on the information and complete understanding on the different errors and varieties that do exist. But I have determined one thing, that you never know unless you ask.

I have seen images of dimes struck quarters, quarters struck on dimes. Shoot, dollar coin with the front of a quarter (2000 Mule Dollar).

I've seen wrong denominations where they had struck a coin that was produced five or more years before the denomination was even introduced and supposed to be swapped over. The mint has minted coins using dies from earlier denominations on coins that where being minted years after those dies had been removed.

I've heard of currency out there that are pressed on other countries coins. People have found dates from the passed on coins from the future.

I've heard people use words like doubled struck, triple struck, and quad struck coins, but the mint doesn't strike a coin more then once and it doesn't reuse coins that have already been struck. But there has been coins found out there where you can a denomination from the previous year overstruck by the dominant image.

All I'm trying to say is that many of you are already aware these errors exist though.
I trying to say anything I post is more then just what I see. I get up at the crack of dawn and get home after the sun sets, so I am sure my eyes play tricks on me, so that's why I never say something is more then what I see and then follow it up by asking for others opinions, so don't respond to me and treat me as if I am here trying to upsell or pull some trick. I see what I do and post here hoping to get it right.

The Nickel you referenced is a dark greyish color, darker then all nickels I put it next to, so not knowing I share my low quality photos for your family to see and hope that I dont get kicked around like some donkey.

The coins I post have captions to describe them because my photos suck, and just because they do doesn't mean I am wrong, although it doesn't mean I'm right either. I just hear and see all that types of info and realize anything is a possibility, so as they say never leave a stone unturned and that's why I ask, I hope you all don't get fed up with me.

So please, realize I am just here to respect the hobby without the bull crap and gather information for my pea brain to remember.

I struggle still in knowing the difference between a doubled die and Mechanical Doubling so please understand I don't post anything on this form trying to claim something is what it isn't with malicious intent or pull some trick, I am posting to share my finds and get others opinions on them.

How would one know of any of the errors and verities that are known unless one day someone noticed something unusual on a coin or note that didn't look the same as others and brought attention to it.

Because of people doing that, we now know of things such as as a doubled dies, or clip planchets, or wrong denominations, somehow somewhere every error was found and an answer was found by someone asking questions and wondering; does that look like a doubled ear? Just to realize hey, actually it is! Then boom, there you have a new error that's known as the doubled ear, or 2 eyes all because someone asked questions.

So again please, don't treat me like I am here lying to you all or trying to claim something that isn't what is known to be I just post and ask for opinions cause who knows about what has yet to be discovered. If I found black beauty nickels beyond the 1950's, like the 1964 I posted asking if it's a possibility of being one. Well shoot, who would ever know with out asking.

So, you all maybe experts and professionals but I am someone who has realized how cool it is to have a hobby I wish you a good night and hope tomorrow you have a great day.

Ryanandfamily5 - unfortunately almost no one is going to read that. Paragraphs are your friend.

Edit: Grapecollects was nice enough to reformat your post and I replaced it, not many would have read it the way you posted it.

It's typically because they have something in their eyes, dollar signs. And we are making the dollar signs go away.

Sorry but this is a one look fake and if you know the markers can be identified as a fake from either the obv or the reverse.

No problem! I couldn't read it (partially due to it being 3AM at the time) but that wall of text was just unapproachable. I just reformatted the text, fixed some grammar and spelling and forwarded it to the mods to update. I figured my effort would be worth it so that others could help.

Ryanandfamily5...well I read all the posts and just want to say stick around and keep posting any coins you have questions about (everyone is here to help others)...Also best of luck on future finds...
