1937-D Three-Legged Nickel, MS65+
FS-901, Exceptionally Vibrant
1937-D 5C Three-Legged, FS-901, MS65+ PCGS Secure. The
1937-D Three-Legged nickel is a standout variety in 20th century
American numismatics. Included in the Guide Book, Cherrypickers'
Guide, and a host of other important references, the 1937-D has
long been a favorite among Buffalo nickel specialists and variety
collectors alike. A single set of dies was used to strike the
entire population of 1937-D Three-Legged nickels. Both dies were
overworked. The reverse features a diagnostic series of raised rust
lumps between the bison's front and hind legs, curving downward
from the left hind leg toward the ground. Mint officials lapped the
reverse to eliminate clash marks, inadvertently effacing the
bison's right front leg. Evidence of extreme die erosion is
typical, usually accounting for subdued luster.This Plus-graded Gem is far more vibrant than the typical example and a rarity as such. Gorgeous lavender and peach-gold accents color each side. Exceedingly sharp for the issue. Population: 60 in 65 (6 in 65+), 10 finer (11/17).
