1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel NGC MS65

Buffalo nickel coinage at Denver in 1937 totaled more than 17.8 million coins. Although this mintage paled in comparison to the 79 million coins struck at Philadelphia, Denver produced its coinage with die pairs that were often stretched past their normal life span. One such die was became so heavily eroded that it was aggressively lapped to remove metal flowlines. The lapping mostly effaced the bison’s forward right leg, creating what is now known as the 1937-D Three-Legged nickel. The variety is one of the key acquisitions for collectors of the Guide Book series, surpassed in scarcity only by the 1916 doubled die and 1918/7-S overdate.

The NGC population is 57 with 29 graded higher.

1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel PCGS MS66

The 1937-D Three-Legged variety is the result of a heavily eroded tail die being vigorously lapped in an effort to smooth out the fields for continued coinage. Effacing the bison’s forward right leg was an accidental consequence that may have gone completely unnoticed by mint employees. But coins struck after the fact have become one of the most sought-after varieties of the entire Buffalo nickel series. Available for a price through MS64, the Three-Legged variety becomes scarce in Gem condition, and anything finer is a great rarity that most collectors can only dream of owning. The one offered here exhibits an even, light golden patina. The PCGS population is only 12 with 3 higher, each of the latter being 66+.
