Description
1937-D Three-Legged Nickel, MS65
Important Lapped Reverse Variety
1937-D 5C Three-Legged, FS-901, MS65 NGC. 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 bison'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.
Census: 65 in 65 (4 in 65+), 24 finer (7/23).Ex: Baltimore Signature (Heritage, 3/2009), lot 668.
