Anything wrong with this 1916 D Buff's front leg?

I was looking at this coin through a microscope because I thought the F was missing, but can barely make it out, so it wasn't, but while I was looking I noticed the front leg looked incomplete. Opinions, please.

    Weak strike. Not a 3 leg.

    Could it be considered a 3 1/2 leg?

    There is a 3 1/2 leg 1916 D Buffalo Nickel FS-901. I wondered about that but not a collector of such, so not very knowledgeable.

    No-not a 3 1/2 legged. It looks a little odd, tho. A better pic would help.

    It looks like a weak strike at most.... the leg appears to be all there.... Cheers, RickO

    From what I'm seeing it looks like a weak strike.

    It looks lame :D

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.
