Description

1937-D 5C Three-Legged MS61 NGC. FS-901, formerly FS-020.2. Ex: Jules Reiver Collection. Pleasing olive-gray toning overlies the surfaces of this vastly popular three-legged bison variety. A nice piece for the grade with only a few abrasions visible upon close inspection. This famous mint error comes down to us thanks to the infamous Mr. Young, a fledgling Mint employee who has long been held by various numismatic authors responsible for the excessive die polishing that created it.
Ex: Jules Reiver Collection (Heritage, 1/2006), lot 20964, which realized $2,875.(Registry values: N1793)
