[QUOTE="TheNickelGuy, post: 1496017, member: 20201"][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]An authentic 3 legged Buffalo nickel has certain characteristics that are unique to the coin. One being that E PLURIBUS UNUM is supposed to be a noticeable distance from the bison's back, easily seen without the use of a magnifying glass. This checks out as most faked nickels have [FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=#000000]E PLURIBUS UNUM[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT] practically touching the back of the buffalo. The 4th leg looks weak as it should and the "drizzle" under the belly, the raised dots, are there. The beard is also correct in my opinion. Congrats, I think it's real. Stay away from the two dealers who say it is fake in the future, or ask them if they have any fake 3 legged buffalos they want to sell cheap.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
