The famed 3 legged buffalo nickel has been sought by collectors ever since its existence became known in 1937 [not 1938]. The value of this coin varies depending upon its condition but a PCGS certified MS66 example of this coin sold at auction in the spring of 2005 for $86,250.

The 2005 nickel with a buffalo on the reverse is worth exactly 5 cents.
Please take a closer look. The coin's minting date is 2005 and is at the bottom edge under the buffalo.You're almost certainly thinking of the 3-legged buffalo nickel error that occurred in 1937.

No. This is a rumor that has crossed the country but there is no truth in it. While the buffalo is clearly male, there is very little difference in the buffalo on the 2005 buffalo from the buffalo on the Buffalo nickel produced from 1913 through 1938.
