Is this a 1936 D 3 1/2 leg buffalo nickel?
I'm new to collecting and thought I'd get some valued opinions. I found it in the spare change thing at a gas station that sits next to the register. Swapped it for 2 other nickels in my pocket change

Nope, sorry !!!
No, but keep looking though.
Successful Trades: Swampboy,
Here's a good image of the variety. There's only a "peg leg" remaining.
No, but good find from a spare change cup.
The OP’s Buff looks fake. At least that my take.
@Bigsky406...Welcome aboard... It is not a 3 1/2 leg.... Some good pictures there....Strange to find a buff in a change tray though. Cheers, RickO
The 1936-D 3 1/2 Leg is a tough coin to find! It is my opinion that the die was pulled shortly after the reworking. I have always thought that it might have been the same employee that caused the missing or diminished leg on other Denver Buffs through out the years.
27-D, 36-D and of course 37-D.
The first image is a 1927-D VF-30 3 1/2 Leg.

no, sorry
Thank you all for your input. I appreciate and value all your opinions and knowledge.
'13 Var one, '16-D, '17-D, and '26-D as well, Pete. All but one are Denver Mint products.
It's thought that the MS62 pictured is the only Mint state coin known for that variety-it's unique in MS grade.
Here's images of all six. I forgot to mention the '38-D in the post above, so 7 of 8 are from the Denver Mint.. They are, in order-1913 Var One, 1916-D, 1917-D, 1926-D, 1927-D, 1936-D, 1937-D, and 1938-D.
This last one is a filled die that I have, not an abraded die, so it's not included with the others.
I mean all EIGHT!
Thanks Ron. I didn't have any documentation out so I winged it. Everyone should have all they need now.
Didn't know about the 38-D.

The '38-D is kinda marginal. Some collectors of these don't consider that one to be legit. I'll see if I can find a closeup. It's much easier to see when placed side by side with a normal coin.
