    So I have the opportunity to buy some Buffalo nickel varieties and wanted to get some opinions!

    Based on old threads that describe what you are supposed to look for in the 3-legged buffalo, I think its authentic....but would appreciate more opinions.

    Also, does anyone think there are signs that the coin may have been cleaned?

    The coin appears to have the correct die markers, so chances are it is authentic. As far as it being cleaned or not I can never be sure, but I wouldn't be too concerned as the coin has a nice natural look that is consistent with a worn Buff.

    Congrats on the 3 legger :)

    Definitely genuine. Form the pictures however it does look cleaned. Better pictures might change that opinion...

    It looks genuine, but is a little too glossy for my taste. Also, there appears to be PVC/verdigris on the bottom of the reverse. These are fairly common coins so you can take your time and buy the right one.
