Other then the Rim damage and scratch on the reverse is this more of a problem coin? I paid a little under retail for the coin (I think so) $350. Any and all comments welcome as usual. Sorry for the lousy pics in advance I will take some decent captures when time allows me to do so.

    That seems like a much scarcer item than 3 C notes and a fifty !
    I don't think that damage would bother me. It helps that it's very OLD damage. I always liked crusty device Buffalos....Cool coin !

    It is a key variety or one of them rather. It doesn’t bother me (to much personally) Thxs! I don’t Have a need in my collection for this so I purchased it with intent to look then sell 😆😆> @thebeav said:

    It is a good space filler for a low grade Buffalo album set. It won't (and shouldn't) straight grade as it is a problem coin.

    I cherried over a dozen of them, the first in 1962 and the last around six years ago, grading from AG to VF. It's nearly impossible to cherrypick one these days.

    That is a neat variety....much more so than the 37-D 3 leg.....to me at least.

    Thanks for the guidelines to look for.

    Not bad, but I'd have spent a tad more to get one with a clearer date. When they get worn down and mushy like this, it takes a little more imagination than I want to give to a coin,

    Never give up on trying to find anything in the wild. In 2008 I picked a nice g-vg 1918/7-d at a coin show in cleveland.
    And a few years ago I got this coin, an unc 1913 type one 3 & 1/2 legged buff on eBay
