Description
***Auction Highlight*** 1937-d 3 leg Buffalo Nickel 5c Graded xf By USCG. The most sought after and heralded Buffalo, the 3 legged 1937-d. Up for Auction is the ever popular 1937-d 3 Leg Buffalo. The ever-popular and eagerly sought 3-Legged Buffalo nickel resulted from clashing that occurred when the obverse and reverse dies struck each other in the absence of an intervening planchet. Such processing troubles are common in most mints and occur when the planchet feeder tube gets clogged or simply runs out of planchets to feed into the press. When noticed by mint employees, clash marks are removed by filing down the fields ever so slightly. In the case of this famous variety, however, die filing also removed the bison's right foreleg. Traces of unrelated die rust or spalling (die wear) are also noted on this reverse: along the bison's back below the Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM, on its rear legs, and in the field below its belly. These features are always present on genuine examples. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win Coin
