Behold! The 1936 three legged headless buffalo nickel!!, in good condition.

I wonder just how this coin was made. Looks to me like it came from the mint like this,

    The bitterness of "Poor Quality" is remembered long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.

    That might be a cud but it is most likely PMD and thus any (missing) details and wear patterns can not be trusted

    Hey, I know it is not a variety because the effect is created by grease and a cud most likely.

    We need a dozen pictures through a microscope to be sure.

    I might be wrong but I don't think variety is even on the table. It's either a PMD or a mint error. Is a cud a variety? Is struck thru a variety? A cud or struck thru happens during the minting process. Could it be struck thru something or a hit? I don't see corresponding damage on the obv.
