1937-D Obverse Of 3 Leg?

Doesn't look like a 3-legged buffalo. I would not make my decision based on what may or may not be OBV markers

@lawest I didn't say it was, because obviously it isn't. I was just wondering if there were other reverse dies with the same obverse die as a 3 leg.

Thanks for these.

Interesting. The obverse markers are definitely there. I think I see the roughness behind the rear leg and the "pee stream" on the reverse.

The difference in background is most likely from the coin being in some kind of foam holder. Black on one side with a white paper material on the other.

IMO, it is a completely different die used, not that of a 3 leg. Two reasons.

1: to my knowledge there was only one die pairing used. If this is the case, the MM location looks to be higher than that of the MM location on the 3 leg variety. Therefore, cannot be the same die.

2. Sheldius has an interesting thought on the earlier die state, BUT, I don't think this is the case. There are a few examples of die stage B, a Proto 3 leg. These examples still have remnants of the 4th leg visible (making it more or less a 3 1/2 leg). That said, during this die stage, the small feather is still complete and not detached from the hair/neckline. If the OP's example were indeed an earlier die state of the 3 leg, based on the obverse Die Deterioration, the reverse should already show relativity strong removal of the 4th leg.

The obverse Die Deterioration in Jerry Pickers example are common in a LDS buff. The separation of the feather and heavy flow lines, in combination with the eroded die are very similar in appearance across many dates (especially in 20's branch mint).
