It's actually pretty common with Buffalo nickels.

That little thing on his underside isn't a leg.
What causes this effect??
I see 4 legs on that critter 2 in the front and 2 in the back.
I will call in @crazyhounddog to answer that question. I honestly have no idea, but I bet the hound dog will know!

Ill take a WAG at it. I think i read somewhere about die deterioration and metal flow lines around the legs and MM.
Someone more knowledgeable will be along.

Looks like die deterioration to me.... Cheers, RickO
It's typical die deterioration, or possibly just machine doubling. damage.
The reverse looks good otherwise, with a full (or close to) strike and a non clash condition.

Looks like MD.
