2005 nickel, 3-legged buffalo?

Dozer D · Nov 29, 2013

Went through a bag ($200) of nickels yesterday, only got 1-1945S silver nickel, and 4-2009s(1-P,3-D). But my question to you fellow CRHs, has anyone found a 3-leg 2005 buffalo yet? If so, please show pic. I hear they do exist, but would like to see one, and which leg is missing.

Ive only heard of the speared 2005 buffaloes. If a 3 legged 2005 buffalo exists maybe someone has one for sale on ebay with a pic.

It is a 2005-P issue as a result of a polished die. The leg isn't missing, but rather is detached. It is the inner rear leg that is detached from the body.

The 2005-D issue has the Speared Bison variety.

Good example you can actually see a detached leg on this nickel. Detached like Hershel's leg. Too many people post things like "is this three legged" well, I tell them to take a good look at it and count the attached legs, if they count 4 it's not.
