Description
1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel
Delicately Toned MS66
Among the Finest at PCGS
1937-D 5C Three-Legged, FS-901, MS66 PCGS. The famous
Three-Legged 1937-D Buffalo nickel, the product of an over-polished
and worn die, is a perennial favorite among collectors of the
series. Mint State pieces are usually available in grades through
MS64, but the eye appeal of such coins tends to be lacking due to
the delicate luster of this issue that is so easily dulled by
surface contact. Gems are scarce, and this Premium Gem example is
among the finest certified at PCGS. Luster is luminous and satiny,
yielding warm champagne toning that cedes to iridescent hues around
the borders. The bison's shoulder is slightly soft, but the
peripheral design elements exhibit above-average definition. Die
erosion throughout the recesses is diagnostic of the issue.
Population: 17 in 66 (5 in 66+), 0 finer (3/23).From The Stephenville Collection.
