Description
1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel, MS61
FS-901, In-Demand Guide Book Variety
1937-D 5C Three-Legged, FS-901, MS61 NGC. An over-zealous
Denver Mint employee removed nearly the entire right front leg of
the bison on this famous 1937-D variety, which rivals the 1955
doubled die Lincoln cent for honors as the most-sought Mint error
prior to 1960. Many examples exist including the ultra-desirable
Mint State coins with the leg fully missing. This MS61 example
displays slightly grainy but attractive golden luster and
remarkably few abrasions for the grade. Struck from overused dies,
surprising definition remains intact except, of course, for the
bison's right foreleg.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22SX, Variety PCGS# 38475, Base PCGS# 3982, Greysheet# 376679)
