So here are my 5 diagnostics into determining if a 1937-D 3 legged Buffalo nickel is real.</p><ul> <li>Neck of the indian<br /> </li> </ul><p>The top of the neck on the indian will look really bumpy and mossy. It won&#039;t be smooth like the rest of the neck.</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>The missing leg<br /> </li> </ul><p>Look at where the leg is supposed to be and look for tool marks like a dremel, or file. The hoof of the buffalo will still be there in a genuine coin.</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>The buffalo<br /> </li> </ul><p>The body of a genuine 3 legged buffalo nickel will be significantly smaller than a regular buffalo nickel. One of the funnier ways to spot a genuine nickel (Usually in BU or better) the buffalo looks like it&#039;s urinating.</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>Back Legs<br /> </li> </ul><p>The two back legs of the buffalo will look very bumpy and rigid like the top of the indians neck.</p><p><br /></p><ul> <li>e pluribus unum<br /> </li> </ul><p>The P in pluribus and U in unum can&#039;t be touching the buffalo.</p><p><br /></p><p>In order:</p><p>Neck: not bumpy</p><p>Hoof: Not bad looking, but... looks smaller than yours.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; But I could be wrong.</p><p>Back Legs: Look too strong</p><p><br /></p><p>EPU: looks fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
