David Lange notes a 3 1/2 leg '13 type 1 in his book but nothing about a 5 leg.
Forgot to say, their was another post recently about the same coin.

Thank you,MAD4MORGANS.Finally got into Photobucket.i made it to step 4 then ran into trouble.when it came to paste img line into forum i didn't know how to transfer it.pictures were copied on photobucket,i then went to forum to try.how do i pull up the img line while i'm in the forum?as you can see not very computer literate.almost there,hope someone can help.thanks

You have to right click your mouse and "paste" the image line into the message text box. Then hit preview to see if it took.

I have made a new screenshot showing the little pop up box that shows up when you right click the mouse.

thanks Mad4Morgans,not a good pic,but at least i was able to post one at last.haven't figured out how to post the obverse yet.can't see it too good with this pic,but the third leg is doubled on the inside up to the belly near the you know what.with it's own hoof.never mind that i'm just happy i could post a photo.thanks for all your help.

It maybe a clash mark from the Indian's face....

need clearer pics of the Obv. and Rev.

Where exactly is the fifth leg you see?

BIGJAYVEE · March 19, 2007 1:53AM

Sorry for the photo.the front hind leg to the inside has an extra hoof and it runs up to the belly.it could be a clash mark,but with an extra hoof?i don't know,but in hand it looks clearly defined.i have several other 1913 type 1 coins,none have this feature.it's a very interesting coin and would like to know if any of you there has one. thanks

BIGJAYVEE · March 19, 2007 8:02AM

sorry,but still having problems posting pics.here is the reverse.thanks

BIGJAYVEE - I see what you mean. Below is another image of a T1 Buffalo for others to compare.

BuffaloIronTail · March 19, 2007 10:20AM

It's not a 5th leg.

It's the TEXTURE inherent to all T-1 Buffs. All were minted with Frasere's original idea of a rough-hewn surface, typical of what would be seen on medals.

Sorry about that.

It's A die clash from rotated dies.

MAD4MORGANS · March 19, 2007 1:03PM

Here's the seller's photos (gyocomgd-a fellow forum member) of a T-1 Buffalo I bought from him last night for possible comparison.

BIGJAYVEE · March 19, 2007 6:11PM

thanks everybody for your help.i see what pete is saying about the rough sewn look and that's true,all my other type 1's have this too,including the pics mad and shamika posted.(thanks),and i would say around the belly area it could be that rough sewn look.this coin however has a double hoof and upper leg,which is different than the others.the crummy pics i took don't show it that well.is there a Leroy Van Allen in the Buffalo world where i could send this coin for an opinion?thanks again to all,very,very helpful. p.s. this is for mad.got your reply on multiple images for posting.still have'nt figured out how to copy to a document.thanks
