Lot 1663
1937-D Buffalo Nickel. 3 legs. NGC graded MS-64. Nice golden toning on both sides. This attractive piece has fresh surfaces that are almost frosted with pleasant, glowing underlying nickel-gray sheen with colorful accents. A touch of weakness is seen at the hair around the braid and on the bison, but here it is known that the dies were heavily reground to obliterate some clash marks, resulting in a weakened image on both sides. The regrinding also removed a portion of the buffalo's front leg. Popular key date. Pop 178; 40 in 65; 14 in 66; 1 in 67 Star.
Estimated Value $5,000 - 6,000.
