1913 type one buffalo nickel 3 and one half legged variety - who has found or bought one??

This variety has been known for probably thirty years but they are never around or offered for sale anywhere.
I had heard that there are only about 20 or so known. Who has or has ever owned or even seen one? I know that
conquest has found a few and I have found one. Picture from pcgs coin facts follows The enlarged picture of the
coin makes it appear that it is under graded at sixty-five

    I have cherried two-AU53 and MS64. Sold one and the other (AU53) is still in my collection. They are indeed quite rare.

    Never found one in the wild, but have owned probably 3 of them, if I recall correctly, an AU, XF, and VF. But all of these were several years ago.

    These are excellent photos and show details that aren't apparent in the trueviews

    Those images were done on a scanner (!) over a decade ago.
