It’s his coin so I should just send it in. I just don’t want him to waste his money and I keep telling him it’s not real so I told him I will ask on the board and then he can look and make a decision. I could be wrong you never know maybe I’m losing it now. Here are the pic. Thanks in advance for your help.

Its pretty beat up and appears cleaned, but looks genuine. Probably not worth the cost to get it graded.

If it’s fake it fools me.
I am not familiar with these but I would like to know why you think it is not real?.
Disagree. If real always worth authentication. This post wouldn’t exist if it had been.
I’d like to be able to assess it in hand in order to opine, but it looks genuine to me.

Looks good to me, I like it a lot.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
@JimTyler It wouldn't be worth the cost to me, especially if it got details graded due to a cleaning.
EDIT I had one in AU that had been cleaned. I sold it raw to a dealer. Puts more money in my pocket than if I had it certified.

If the owner plans on selling it at least get it authenticated. The coins not going to end up in a top pop registry set but at least the prospective buyer will know it is real.

So anyone care to render a value on a 1937-D VF Details 3leg?

The back leg is not right, the pee line doesn’t look right. Here are some pic’s of some real ones.

Based on everything else I see (including the die erosion on the Indian’s neck) I’m guessing it’s there, just not clear in the image.

In hand or MUCH better pics would be needed to verify if authentic or not. I also think if it’s real it should be graded. Yes it’s worth it.
Genuine, with problems. Absolutely worth getting certified. If not, you'll get the same differing opinions on authenticity you're seeing here from dealers when it's time to sell it, and that will affect what you can sell it for. Certification will eliminate the question of authenticity and you'll only worry about which dealer is willing to pay the best price.
Okay copy that in she goes. Thanks guys for all your help.

Heres one in a similar grade to compare it with

I see the buffalo is taking a leak in your picture so I say it's real!
It’s going in I might as well send in some other stuff as well that I picked, Thanks again every one.

All of the diagnostics are there. I say it's genuine.
I did this thread 3 years ago ... I can't blow up your pics without saving and do not feel like it

Doesn't look fake to me. Keep us posted, won't you, Type2?
The D font and position is not the same. It’s off…..I think it’s fake.
Let us know how it grades when you get it back in a year.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.
Good decision to send it in
Looks genuine to me, I see the 4 pickup points i always look for.
The only thing that has me worried is that the upper hind leg appears to possibly have too much meat.
That concerns me.
Better photos are in order, and better yet, professional authenticity.
The value of this coin makes that worthwhile in my book.

Let us know how it comes out.
Thank you everyone I will update when she gets back.👍🏼

I will add to the 'authentic' opinion list.... Worth submitting IMO.... Cheers, RickO
