Description
1937-D Three-Legged Nickel, MS66
Pastel Iridescence, FS-901
Among the Finest We Have Seen
1937-D 5C Three-Legged, FS-901, MS66 PCGS. Distinctive
pale-tan toning with ice-blue highlights combine with bold mint
luster for outstanding eye appeal throughout both sides of this
Premium Gem three-legged nickel. A famous Cherrypickers' and
Guide Book variety, the 1937-D nickel became a sensation
when the bison's missing leg was publicized, creating a new legion
of collectors -- along with the later discovery of 1955 doubled die
Lincoln cents.This pleasing example exudes natural visual charm. Vibrant and well-struck for a three-legged nickel despite typically eroded dies, the Mint anomaly is particularly obvious on this coin, with the bison's inside front leg wholly missing from stump to hoof. The preservation is terrific. Population: 14 in 66 (3 in 66+), 0 finer (6/20).
