5C 1937-D XF 45 PCGS 3 Legs

This coin is an example of this classic Buffalo nickel mint error which for decades has been considered by specialists to be an integral addition to a complete set of the series. The 3 Legs variety was created by an inexperienced Denver Mint employee improperly using an abrasive stick in an attempt to remove marks caused by die clashing. In the process of attending to the area of clashing, the leg was polished away and coins were minted using the damaged die. Limited quantities of this error escaped into commerce.
