1937-D Buffalo 5C. 3 Legs NGC MS66
From an unknown mintage for this scarce variety from a single reverse die. The classic error from Mr. Young, a US Mint employee who in a vain attempt to save a pair of clashed dies filed out the clashing and removed the detail of the leg at the same time. Bold, steel-grey and original, with a single feeble carbon spot on the neck and one bag mark over the beast. Population for NGC of 14 pieces, with only 1 finer. Auction records on this grade are as high as $86,000
