Other then the Rim damage and scratch on the reverse is this more of a problem coin? I paid a little under retail for the coin (I think so) $350. Any and all comments welcome as usual. Sorry for the lousy pics in advance I will take some decent captures when time allows me to do so.

    That seems like a much scarcer item than 3 C notes and a fifty !
    I don't think that damage would bother me. It helps that it's very OLD damage. I always liked crusty device Buffalos....Cool coin !

    It is a key variety or one of them rather. It doesn’t bother me (to much personally) Thxs! I don’t Have a need in my collection for this so I purchased it with intent to look then sell 😆😆> @thebeav said:

    It is a good space filler for a low grade Buffalo album set. It won't (and shouldn't) straight grade as it is a problem coin.

    I cherried over a dozen of them, the first in 1962 and the last around six years ago, grading from AG to VF. It's nearly impossible to cherrypick one these days.

    not bad at all

  • DIMEMANDIMEMAN Posts: 22,403 ✭✭✭✭✭

    That is a neat variety....much more so than the 37-D 3 leg.....to me at least.

    BTW-I think you got a good deal for the money.

    Very interesting strike.

    Thanks for the guidelines to look for.
    Cool history class.

    Not bad, but I'd have spent a tad more to get one with a clearer date. When they get worn down and mushy like this, it takes a little more imagination than I want to give to a coin,

    Never give up on trying to find anything in the wild. In 2008 I picked a nice g-vg 1918/7-d at a coin show in cleveland.
    And a few years ago I got this coin, an unc 1913 type one 3 & 1/2 legged buff on eBay
