Description
1937-D Three-Legged Nickel, MS64+
Lustrous and Well-Struck
1937-D 5C Three-Legged, FS-901, MS64+ PCGS. CAC. Perhaps the
best known lapped die variety in numismatics, along with the 1922
No D cent. Overenthusiastic die polishing at the Mint removed much
of the bison's right front leg. The granular back leg, and the
trail of minute die lumps beneath the bison's belly, provide
further diagnostics for FS-901. The typical example grades XF, but
the present coin is a near-Gem with dynamic luster and wisps of
straw-gold and pale blue toning. The strike definition is much
stronger than usually seen with good details on the Indian's hair
and over the bison's horn.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 22SX, Variety PCGS# 38475, Base PCGS# 3982, Greysheet# 376679)
