1937-D 3 legged buffalo nickel on ebay right now which is NOT a genuine example

Take a look at this so-called three legged 1937d buffalo nickel. Good or Bad?
The 37d three legger is probably the most famous of the many buffalo nickel mint errors and varieties.
People were looking for this in the early 1940ies even before they went after the 1918/7-d overdate.
Made somewhere overseas no doubt. Starting bid is around $1350 with a buy it now of $2350 or so.
It is ebay auction number 373917357001

Looks like a struck counterfeit from China rather than the usual removed leg from a genuine 1937-D nickel.

How sad
Looks off to me, both sides seem bloated, coarse and I'd bet it's a cast fake. IMO. Hope it can be taken down. Peace Roy

Chinese-made counterfeit.
Should take everyone 5 seconds to make such a conclusion.

I don’t see it on eBay. Please learn to post links to items you’re calling to the forum’s attention.

Looks like one of the alibaba fakes.
Had a guy bring a couple of these he bought at the florence flea market, thought he scored a big one, when i told him they were bogus, he took off back to sc. Dont know what ever happened after that, hadnt seen him since
Glad that it was reported and removed.
A very poor fake.

ah, who doesn't like a good ol EDS 3 1/2 legger?
Now that is a good quality fake from china it’s ok it will probably break in a week. 😁
Hoard the keys.
SHEESH! Just looking at the "meaty" rear leg will trash it. (Among other things).

No "stream" either.

Unfortunately they can and do make much better fakes than that.
