....the buff looks similar to the 37 but not as severely polished. it isn't from the same

die either, as the 37. there are fewer than 40 known, in any grade. needless to say

it is extremely rare.

Thanks for the links. I can’t swear I have one, buy maybe. That’s why I’d like to find some other die indicators to verify yes or no. When I get a photo station set up, I’ll post a pic.

I bought a lot of buffalos in 2x2’s, which were priced at somewhere around 1960 prices. There were about nine 1936-D’s in the lot and when I laid them all out together, one jumped out with a definite weak front leg compared to the rest of them. It’s a G to VG, so comparing pics is tough, yet I would imagine, in worn states, die indicators may also disappear. But, I’d like to find other indicators to say ye or nay. Anyone know if Wexler or someone else has written anything on the die(s) used?

 

I have a 1936D 3 1/2 leg up one-bay right now for sale. It was my Dad's and I really never knew if any of his coins had value until about this past August. I had it graded and slabbed by ANACS because it has a scratch..I know it is worth p[robably double than the high bid right now. here is a pic

 

1936 D 3 1/2 Buffalo Nickel

I was going through some of the coins I had gotten over the past year..well this was part of a collection "A Tribute to The Old West Collection. The coins were taped, and for a long time. The reverse of this coin wasn't taped. The obverse of this coin was. Any way to get the tape off without cleaning it? And I think this could be a 3 1/2 Buffalo... Please do not look at these pictures..as I grabbed the wrong one...I will post correct one momentarily as it takes a minute to untape it carefully...geesh...I need glasses

 

no, this was the right one,...threw me off ,.. the tape makes it look like a five..used the looop..it is a six...goodness.

 

3 1/2 legs are alot more common than people realize.sort through 10's of thousands of them and you will find more than you thought you would.in various dates.

 

Do you have any? I wish I could see somemore examples of this. Of any date...Can anyone show me some? Thanks

 

To me, this is a stupid variety.

 

However, there are enough "stupid" people out there that a VF rendition goes for 300,000+ pennies.

 

Did you leave off a 0 on that penny count? When would not want to short change anyone some pennies. Especially if they are the new 2010 pennies. I just got 4 of those pennies in change.

 

Hey! I put a + at the end!?

 

PT Barnum was right.

 

Maybe, but he made a good living taking in all those pennies.

 

i thought 1936-d 3.5 legs are quite rare, less than 60 have been certified by pcgs, i think i see all 4 legs in the photo, here is a link to a mint state example http://coins.ha.com/common/view_item.php?Sale_No=1124&Lot_No=2163

 

Micheldura's buffalo doesn't appear from the last photo to be a 3 1/2 leg. Notice that the anterior part of the front leg does contact the front part of the hoof, whereas all of the Heritage samples show it missing, with no leg touching the front part of the hoof. I always thought that 3 1/2 Leg should be 3 7/8 Leg.

you have to understand that,just because something is in a "population" report,that truly does not mean anything.Myself,I cherry pick stuff like this & hoard it.and none graded.If I want to pay for plastic,ill buy another pair of shades.

 

For someone who NEVER posts a coin he owns, you sure do think ALOT of coins are garbage...
