    Last night when I found the two cows with 7 feet only, I was very happy of my finding. But then this morning I check the original design of that Quarter. And in reality the two cows were designed with 7 feet only.

    [​IMG] There are twelve smelly feet ,because there are three bulls tugging along count them if you found the one with twelve feet then you have an odd ball if the original minting is seven feet[​IMG]The last one is his tall

    Jasscoin; I'm from the country-side of my country Guatemala, (Rural Area), The life in those areas is very simple. You never will see a car pulled by three bulls. All they use is a long stick and a short stick in T shape. At each side of the long one is one bull attached to the short one.

    I understand Carlos, but this coin represents the state of nebraska of the Us of America so there;s a difference I guess .

    The coin has six horns on it which means three bulls. I will indicate it for you in red ,Now i just want to make this clear The picture of the coin has seven legs ,and six horns. What i'm seeing on your coin is l2 legs and six horns which should be correct. i think the picture of the coin is wrong.

    Now if they were minted with seven legs as the picture indicates and yours has twelve you have a major error but something seems wrong here . i will research it furter for you it;s very interesting. Carlos could you post a picture of the entire reverse for me if you can. And it's very posible you may have a douled die.

    Sorry, because I didn't see these doubling before. Any way, what you see as xtra horns, are little sticks that keep the bulls in position.

    Now that i'm getting a full picture of the coin seems like die deterioration Doubling which is no error on the letters so i would think the extra feet are just die errosion. I will examine the coin further most of the state hood quarters have alot of die deterioration DD on them. but there are double dies out there but this one isn't sorry

    Jazz,

    The Nebraska Quarter has only two Oxen pulling the wagon! What you see in between the two, is called the yoke which is used to hitch two Oxen together side-by-side and at equal distance from each other.

    Hi Huntsman,

    You beat me to it. Until you set the record straight, I couldn't believe what I was reading. I thought it was all a bad dream.

    Thanks,
    Bill

    Don't forget that, the designer put 7 feet only, we got think about the 8th behind where ever we want.

    It's MDD and the letters a "mushy" because the image is fuzzy.

    And it does look like a designers error. The left oxen does appear to be missing its front left leg. The third leg from the left is in the proper position to be the right rear leg of the right hand ox (although it does appear to be a little too closeto the left hand ox), but the position and angle of the leg make it wrong to be the left oxen's front left leg.
