Need help with a 3-legged Buffalo

gsaguy

A friend has sent me scans of a 3-legged buffalo she owns (raw, circulated) and would like to know its value.

I've tried to post the scans but the images are too large.

Could someone help me out posting the scans? If possible, I'd like to send them to someone by e-mail and then have them format and post them to this thread.

Let me know.

Thanking you in advance!

Okay guys, now that goose3 has posted the scans, can anyone give the owner of the value of such a piece? Thanks!!!!

gsaguy,

You can resize them. Microsoft Paint has some limited capabilities for resizing and cropping. Use the Image / "stretch/skew" function and enter horizontal and vertical dimensions (you can also use it to "shrink") in the stretch section. Make sure when opening the file, to set the drop down box to jpg file type - it defaults to bmp.

Russ,

I'll give it a try but keep in mind that there's a loose nut in front of my computer.

AU55-maybe 58 is what I'd say.

Placid

Use boomspeed and link to it.

gsaguy,

If you can't figure it out, you can eMail them to me and I'll take care of it for you. But, I'm of the mind that if you give a man fish, he will eat for a day, but if you teach him to fish, he will eat for a lifetime. So, give it the old college try.

Russ,

I like that Biblical reference and I'm sure you're correct.

However, we already know all about fishing down here in S. Louisiana.........I use purple dynamite with a yellow skirt.

That might pull a full unc...I don't see any wear on the bison's hump where it's usually most noticable. Probably won't grade too high though because of the small scratch on the obverse. Still a nice find.

I would guess AU and it look real. Get it slabbed and let all know the results Nice coin

Sold a similar coin as this to one of the mail order giants for $750. AU bid is $600 and 60 bid is $1,100. I'm sure the coin I sold is going out to some poor soul as unc.
