Description
Gem 1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo
1937-D 5C Three-Legged MS65 NGC. FS-901 (formerly FS-020.2). This coin is an interesting and instructive example of the Three-Legged Buffalo, combining as it does Gem quality with a late state of dies that already advanced when the error was created. On the reverse there is more die erosion present than normal, creating an extra dose of the orange-peel effect in the field before the buffalo's head. The tiny plant on the mound before the missing leg is smaller than usual, and the various areas of the obverse show advanced die markers as well. On the other hand, the strike is as well delivered as ever on this issue, the luster is head-and-shoulders superior to most examples, and evidence of post-strike contact is minuscule.
