Rarely Seen 1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel
1937-D 5C Three-Legged MS65 NGC. FS-020.2. Three-Legged Buffalo nickels were struck from a single pair of dies, and the tightest distribution of these pieces was in the Bozeman, Montana area. This single pair of dies has easily recognizable characteristics that make a genuine Three-Legged nickel discernible from an altered piece. The most obvious feature of a genuine coin is a stream of raised lumps between the front and hind legs, caused by erosion of the die. While relatively obtainable in lower circulated grades, Uncirculated pieces, especially Gems, are seldom seen. This is a lovely piece with bright, satin-like mint luster. Each side is lightly and evenly toned, and the striking details are stronger than often seen. A splendid example of this popular error that has now made its way into the regular series of Buffalo nickels.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (PCGS# 3982, GSID# 3145)
