1937-D Buffalo Nickel. 3 legs AU58 RAW
This die-polishing variety was the first of its kind to capture the attention of collectors. Discovered soon after its issue, 1937-D 3-leg nickels were advertised for sale in an ad in <I>The Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine<I> as early as 1937-38. The variety was caused by excessive polishing of the dies to remove clash marks, which inadvertantly in the same operation, removed part of the buffalo's foreleg. Only the hoof remains. If he can balance on just 3 legs, surely you can balance-out your collection by acquiring this attractive AU specimen! Nicely toned. (#3982)
