The 3 1/2 leg buffalo nickel saga, UPDATED
Ok, so splitting this out into its own thread to vent a bit. Here's the back story. I wanted to send in a potential proof buffalo nickel for slabbing, and had a few leggers sitting around. I figured I would go ahead and add those on since I was probably going to submit them some time in the future anyway. So here's how the… -

That is considered 3-1/2 legs? -
Re: The 3 1/2 leg buffalo nickel saga, UPDATED

<< <i>These things can be very subjective and inconsistencies abound with them. I do believe your '27-D does have a little too much leg to qualify even though it's the correct die.
