Lot 217
1937-D Buffalo Nickel. 3 legged. Sharpness of VF-20 but there is a reverse scratch. The reverse has a pin scratch under the Bison, and a little scrape near his front leg. Both are minor, and the 3-legged feature is not affected. Popular for many years, this error seldom turns up and is always expensive in even moderate grades. Supposedly this error came to be when a mint employee tried to file off clash marks on the reverse die, filed away part of the clash marks, but the entire mid section of the bisons leg disappeared in the process.
