[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 1305395, member: 15199"]The obverse of the 3-legged buffalo also had some significant markers, along with the reverse. Fakes usually concentrate on the reverse and not the obverse. All markers have to be present --arrows: 1. Notice the forehead of the Indian 2. The separation of the second feather ( this occurs in other non-3L also) 3. Rough area at back of neck 4. Rough area in front of braid 5. Die break ( bottom arrow) [IMG]http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/3lbuffobv.jpg[/IMG] I forget if I included this photo in Coin Ed 103 thread but notice how the top of the hoof is like an elongated triangle, whereas most fakes are straight. Also the stream of "pee" is in the wrong position. [IMG]http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/2-2legs.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
