Description

1937-D Three-Legged Nickel, MS64
Luminous CAC Example

1937-D 5C Three-Legged, FS-901, MS64 PCGS. CAC. The Denver Mint used working dies well past the point where they started to erode, throughout the 1920s and 1930s. In 1937, an eroded nickel die pair was aggressively polishing to smooth metal flow out of the fields, and in the process the bison's forward right leg was effaced. The 1937-D Three-Legged nickel is now one of the key acquisitions in the series and highly sought after in all grades. This CAC-endorsed near-Gem displays satiny luster with subtle iridescence throughout tan-gold toning. Eye appeal and strike sharpness are excellent.
