Possible new discovery on 5 legged buffalo

Before wasting your money, Spend some time studying Wexlers site that will show how dies are made, the characteristics of true doubling, and how to spot worthless doubling.

Looking for doubled dies is not a guessing game. It's about learning the die making processes. Are you seeing any split serifs? Any rounded wideing? Does the flat doubling tell you anything? It should

Bookmark and study it. Then study it some more. You obviously need better attribution skills before you claim new discoveries.

I showed and gave you that info in your last thread. Your photos ARE lacking the FULL SIZE option.

Also why don't you add a link to the 5 Leg Buffalo.

 

heres the 1936 buffalo again

 

Too much magnification! Use Loupe please. Your coin is a result of using a Microscope for coins~~ "Microscopitis"~~

 

Go back and edit out the dozen duplicate sets of pics. It's difficult and annoying trying to wade through that mess. You're soon going to be on a lot of ignore lists

 

sorry, I didnt realize iit did them all, I only took bout 7 newer photos and some how they all hooked up, so if your a smart guy, what do you think, is it possible its a new 5 legged discovery

 

so photo when im using magnifier, ok

 

What did you learn from reading the links provided? Did you see any split serifs? Do you know what they are and why they're important to identifying true doubled dies? Do you know the significance of flat shelf like doubling and how it relates to worthless mechanical doubling?

Those are your answers. Let us know what you you think and why. Then we can help you learn.

 

No not a five leg Buffalo but the photos are better.

 

It's too minor to tell. The coin is so worn that any other details and possibly markers are worn away.
By the way here is the You tube and the 1930 5 legged Buffalo. It looks nothing like yours.

heres the buffalo new 5 legged photos under my loup

did you ask the experts on varietys or its your opinion

 

In post #28 @Oldhoopster asked you a very pertinent question. to which you have not answered but continue to question the opinions of some very experienced members. I doubt very much, based on this and your previous threads, that you understand the minting process and how dies are made, let alone the difference between genuine varieties and their machine made counterparts. Instead of continuing to play this for an answer you want, and if you think that you have a new variety, then send it to a TPG for attribution.

 

My opinion but that with over 60 years of experience. It’s too worn and any markers are worn away.

 

I've read all the posts in this thread. I've looked at all the pictures, and heaven help me there are A LOT of them, and even thrown in some self imposed paredolia to try real hard to see something, anything, that resembles a fifth leg. And for the life of me I cannot see one iota, or any semblance of the fifth leg @Salvatore Cucchiara is talking about.

I'm sorry Salvatore I tried to see what you're seeing. It just isn't happening, at least for me. I'm all for sending it into one of the TPG's to attribute and confirm what you see. Please let us know how that turns out.

Afterthought: how about drawing a circle around, or an arrow at this evasive 5th leg you see?

 

whats tpg mean

 

how or where to I click to circle a photo, dont know if my laptop has this

 

You can put the file into a program as simple as "Paint" or "LunaPic" and do it from there, save and post. Sounds difficult but very easy.

 

dont know how to find or type in a program

 

PM me. I'll walk you through it.
