Is there really such thing as a 3 legged buff??

Yes, Jarhead, there is a three leg buffalo, 1937 D to be exact, error due to polishing a worn die, right front leg is most shallow devise on the die, 1936 D 3 1/2 is far more valuable, grab a coin book, as coin hunters we must educate ourselves, there are a lot of vaieties in the buffalo 5 cent series........fred

Yeah a three legged Buffalo is worth a pretty good chunk of change. Anywhere from $560 to $25,000 depending on condition.
