3½ Segs

What do you think? (sellers pics, not mine)

The pictures you provided make it difficult to render a solid conclusion. I can only give my opinion.

I flipped the reverse pic and enlarged it the best that I could. To me, it looks like SEGS was correct in their attribution. It does indeed look like a 3-1/2 leg 27-D five cent.

IMHO I can`t see paying a premium for something as hard to distinguish as this

winky

I wouldn't buy it at all.

The problem with some of these varieties is that many people want to find and "make" them but significantly fewer want to buy them once "made" unless they are top end or close.
Frankly on the coin in question, to me it's a wobbler but I'd need to see it in hand to make a determination.

Correct die but an early die state. There are better specimens of the variety-I'd wait for one.

no go - not even in a PCGS holder.

koynekwest

These DO come with a nearly missing leg-these can be visually impressive. On those coins the Mint mark is filled in and touches the rim. It's difficult, tho, to set a standard with this and the 1917-D 3 1/2 legged, both of which can vary widely.

Here is one that is on ebay right now that has a really nice weak front leg

I agree 100%.....I'll go with Ron on this one.

CoinZip

Received the coin yesterday.... here are my pics. So how did I do for $55 ?

koynekwest

You did quite well for $55. It IS an acceptable example of the variety-your images are much better than the original. Entombing that coin in a SEGS slab really killed the value. Right or wrong that's the reality of things.

DIMEMAN

I love varieties.....BUT......these half legs really stump me. I guess if you are familiar with them and know exactly what to look for.....

I believe it is correctly attributed, however, not one I would buy..Cheers, RickO

2 full legs and 2 half legs. Interesting variety.

1 + 1 + 1/2 + 1/2 = 3 legs
