Looks good so far, sharper pics would help.

First off I'm not a Buff nickel guy...yet But I'm not in 100% agreement with the others. Shouldn't the clash marks (EPU) still show on the obverse and with the reverse the hind leg looks to defined to me. Could this be a tooled coin with the "splatter' toning to hide such? Has me pondering....  |

Agree—I'm not convinced it's genuine. It doesn't have the markers of a genuine 3-legger, mottling of the hind leg, a moth-eaten neck area, and separation of EPU.

 with Zurie - and no "urine stream", either. My vote is not genuine. Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Where did you get it? Unfortunately, with the Chinese counterfeiters getting better and better, and pumping out rarities you have to be extremely careful.

I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed when you get the coin back. There are several diagnostics of a genuine 3-legged Buffalo, and this coin has none of them. In addition to the ones mentioned above, the hoof of the missing leg should be more distinct, and the right side of the beard should be lower and pointed more towards the back. PLURIBUS and UNUM should be further away from the buffalo. It's likely an altered 37-D rather than a struck counterfeit, but there's no chance it comes back as authentic.

On review, I believe Zurie is correct.

Here are the diagnostics of a genuine 1937-D three-legged Buffalo discussed so far. I obtained this image from PCGS (I believe) back in March and added arrows.  Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Hondo Boguss...thanks for the images...I forgot about the psoriasis on the back of the neck and the urine steam..
I've been wanting one of these for a while now...watching/bidding on in auctions but final bids always above what I was comfortable with.
