Description
Striking Gem 1937-D Three-Legged Nickel
1937-D 5C Three-Legged MS65 PCGS. Unlike many varieties, which languish in obscurity for years or even decades before their discovery by discerning numismatists, the Three-Legged 1937-D Buffalo nickel was popular (and popularized) within months of issuance. Even so, few examples survived in strict Mint State, with only a small fraction of those reaching the Gem status awarded to this delightful coin. Though both sides exhibit substantial die erosion, the luster and detail are pleasing nonetheless, particularly on the bison's sharp horn. Outer bands of golden toning yield to blue, violet, and rose in the centers. Beautifully preserved and largely unattainable any finer; PCGS has graded just four such pieces (6/08).From The University Drive Collection.(Registry values: N4719)
