1916-D Buffalo, right die pair, but is it the 3-1/2 legger?

OnWithTheHunt

Just picked this up. Buffalo variety guys, have I struck cherries, or struck out? It's definitely the correct die pair, and the front leg is weak, but is it weak enough?

Side by side of new coin and regular 16-D


Side by side of full reverse


Full obverse

I think you might have it bud. Way to go and good eye!!!!!

BustHalfBrian

That ain't a full leg, that's for sure

BUFFNIXX

yes, as others have said above it is the correct reverse die and obverse too.
i also look for a small line connection between the bottom of the six and the
second one in the date. it is there. obverse die has a ratty used look, late die
state. but, is there really nuff leg removed to call it 3 and one half legs?
maybe should be called 3 and 3 quarters legger! Whatever the leg has
certainly been reduced.

BUFFNIXX

for anyone intereseted there is currently an auction on ebay for one of these.
its not an auction but rather buy it now. over 600 bucks. the auction number is
161383715719 in case anyone wants to take a look. its an xf coin.
