<B>1937-D 5C Three-Legged MS64 PCGS.</B></I> FS-020.2. Walter Breen (1988), writing about the genesis of the popular '37-D Three-Legged Buffalo nickel, indicated that a newly hired pressman, a Mr. Young, was under pressure to complete a quota, so instead of replacing a pair of clashed dies (the usual mint procedure), he ground off the clash marks with an emery stick, and in the process removed the bison's foreleg. The nickels struck from these dies escaped into sealed sacks among normal ones, and went unnoticed until they had already been distributed to banks and entered circulation. This helps to explain why Mint State examples are relatively scarce. The near-Gem specimen in this lot exhibits pleasing bright luster, which is unusual for this issue. (David Lange, 2000, writes that "Examples having bright and pleasing luster are quite rare.") Low intensity champagne-gold color rests over both sides, and the design features are well brought up. A few unobtrusive contact marks prevent a higher grade.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
