First see what your return policy is & hopefully you can get a third party authentication before committing to the sale. Second, you probably have some normal 1937-D nickels in your collection. Compare your 3-leg to some normal 1937-D examples. The 3-leg should have some scratchiness behind the Indian’s neck. The 3-leg should have the E PLURIBUS UNIM spaced a little higher off the back of the buffalo (This is easy to see when comparing to a normal 1937-D). The 3-leg buffalo should also have a ratty rear leg and look like it is peeing a little. These are diagnostics of a genuine 3-leg. These diagnostics are excellent for detecting an altered 1937-D 4-leg coin. Counterfeiters are making really deceptive products today so you really should get a 3rd party opinion.</font></span></p><p> </p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">Very best regards,</font></span></p><p><span style="color: black"><font face="Verdana">collect89 </font></span></p><p> </p><p>P.S.
