    Please look in the Cherry Pickers' Guide or Google it.

    The die was polished and a portion of the leg was removed.

    I was going to as the to ask the Senior Moderator Error Collecktor to help me with some follow up questions, I did not know if he was talking to me or the other poster because I referenced having already gone to Cherry Pickers's guide and Google for comparisons. But boy, you put me in my place. Thanks for that.

    It might be a plain 1936-D..I'm not up on this type of stuff...I don't see why the polishing wouldn't "remove" the left leg first. Now, somebody put me in my place.

    It has all 4 legs, just normal circulation wear.

    The coin has the reverse elevation as the coin's die surface after striking ,so the left leg would be deeper into the die ( more protected from polishing ~ if that was the cause of the variety)and the right leg would be closer to the surface of the die and more prone to damage~ or being polished away) .

    The CPG's illustrations are extremely useful for most cases, but for some, especially very low number of examples available, they are somewhat 'flat' in mine. I found the PCGS photos easier to see as examples. Jim

    Thank you for the through explanation, this is what I was seeking, I did not know if the right front leg had altered dimensions and when I compared the coin I found, I wondered if the straight line on the leg and the hard angles on the hoof and upper leg indicated the variety. I didn't see the nuance. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    Jim, thanks for your response. I figured something like that but could not think of the words to explain it like you did. Chip

    Aw shucks, Nolan! I was just funnin' with ya.

    Actually, a lot of people post comments intended for one person, but they fail to use the "Reply" function which begins with that person's quote. (As I have done above.) It avoids confusion if you use the "Reply" function when commenting to a specific person.
