Fred Michaleson's 3-Legged Buffalo
Fred Michaelson writes:

I recently bought a 3-legged Buffalo Nickel, and I've been studying it to see whether it's genuine. One of the diagnostics, as you probably know, is that due to the damaged and poorly repaired die, the buffalo appears to be urinating. Do you think this piece passes muster in that regard?
