Can you take a close-up of the Indian? Rferences say that all 3-legged buffalo nickels have what looks like acid or metal deterioration on the back of his neck just below the hair line. Just look at Ebay cer'd nickels for sale. Your mintmark looks odd as well.

 

Sure thing let me run back to my coin station, brb 2 mins

 

That would only be worth that much in pristine, uncirculated condition

 

Oh of course

 

Here are more close ups

 

If it’s the real thing it’s in the neighborhood of $500.00.

 

Here are mine. I have the front OK, but I would have to search for for the photos of the buffalo on the reverse. They still looks like a partial front leg on the animal, so I avoided those. The photo was taken years ago. Jim

 

Hope these helped

 

I uploaded more close ups does it seem legit to you?

 

Its worth the small amount for ICG to check/seal the coin.

 

Here are now updated photos after I took acetone and a qtip to it, took off the green gunk that was o. This forehead thoughts on these pictures

 

Better Pics. ! Looks good to me although I'm no expert on the matter. Just what I saw a few minutes ago online and it's probably worth what @Collecting Nut said.

Thanks I thought those last batch of pictures looked darn good if I do say so myself haha

 

That first link specifically calls out "E and P in E PLURIBUS UNUM touching the buffalo" and "strong detail in the hindmost leg" as tells for a fake. Alas, both are present in the OP's photos.

 

Cool. Just one thing though. Don't forget to click " Full image" before clicking "Post reply".

 

Absolutely 100 % FAKE! All pups are missing...
The leg was tooled...as you can see the medal has been moved on the surface....and the rear leg should appear moth eaten and a stream of pee seen coming from the animal...two pups that cannot be faked! And that's why it was in a roll of nickels....Sorry but no bannana.

 

Agreed. Altered coin.
