[QUOTE="coppermania, post: 1354849, member: 18304"][ATTACH]157502.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]157503.vB[/ATTACH] Hi guys and gals, I have what I believe to be a 1936 D 3 1/2 legs Buffalo nickel. I've consulted my Cherry Picker's Guide and looked at 10-15 pictures from Heritage auction archives and believe I have a genuine variety. To my estimation, the first leg on this coin matches what has previously been slabbed by NGC and PCGS. While looking for other indicators, I noticed that on all genuine examples, the 36 in the date is stronger that the 19, which this coin has. I would ask anyone who cares enough, to check the Heritage photos and see what I am seeing and report back. I wan't to send this coin to NGC for authentication and attribution and thought I would see what the forum had to say in case I am wrong about this and it is not the variety I think it is. Also, I would say this coin grades at VF20 at best, but probably a F12. Even if the dings keep it in a Genuine holder, this could still be a special coin. Thanks for the feedback, Matt[/QUOTE]
