Experts please: 1936-D three and a half leg Nickel?

I posted some low value coins on CT and one member pointed out that this was the three and a half leg variety of 1936-D Nickel.

If it is, then clearly an excellent find. If others confirm this, it will have to go off to NGC.

Definitly a 3 1/2 legged variety, nice find.

 

I disagree. Looks like a normal 36 D to me.

 

I'm not seeing the 3 1/2 legger...I think it is just a dirty, damaged nickel.

 

maybe bad pictures, but I see a shaded leg, above E in CENTS, but im wondering why the first leg isn't disapearing, can you tell my why its not a 3 1/2 variety Lost Dutchman?

 

Because it has 4 legs... The front leg is complete and not polished like the 3 1/2 legged.

 

Seriously? Some of us know and understand that you are very young, but not everyone will. Now what you need to understand is that acting like you know what you're talking about while spouting nonsense helps no one, including you. Read more, post less.

As for the coin in question, I agree with the others; no.

 

I am not seeing a half leg either.

 

Can't get any more obvious that it is not a 3 1/2 legged Buffalo if it has more than 3 1/2 legs. :yes:

 

A 36 D has 4 legs. The half comes into play with the knee of the front back leg, and the leg that you can plainly see behind the front leg.i .

 

Take a look again, Tony...the coin in the OP has the full leg. The one you posted appears to have 1/2 the leg missing.

 

In my opinion it seems to be just a dirty coin, sorry! Keep up the.... Continue searching for coins. (Scared non_cents might have patented that... :too-funny

 

Keep up the hunt!

 

Why is everyone ignoring the fifth leg.( the ghost leg behind the front outside leg above the E. xGAJx sees it also. That is why I posted the picture I posted, not to show the inside leg, but the outside ghost leg.The OPs coin has this.

 

I think everyone isn't paying attention to the "fifth leg" because the original question was about 3 1/2 legs, not 5.:rollling:

 

one Question. How many Buffs have 5 legs or appear to have?

 

None...what you are seeing is part of the design. It can be seen behind the front left leg of the Buffalo in this picture as well. http://0.tqn.com/d/coins/1/0/y/E/-/-/US0005-Buffalo-Nickels-F12-NGC-1.jpg

 

Now here is a coin that matches the grade of our OPs. I am going with yeah.

 

That is full legged with LOTS of wear. The whole leg is easily identifiable.
