1936-D 5C 3 1/2 Legs FS-901 VF25 认证号81700212, PCGS号38471

Ron Guth

The 1936-D 3-1/2 Legs variety was created by overpolishing of the reverse die, resulting in loss of detail on the front foreleg (see image comparisons).  The 1937-D 3-Legged Buffalo was created in the same manner, but on a different die where the polishing was more severe.  According to the Cherrypickers' Guide, fewer than 40 examples are known.
