Lot 263
1937-D. 3 Legs. PCGS graded MS-63. Lovely multicolor toning on both sides, pastel pink, rose, blue and gold. This coin features unbelievably beautiful and shimmering iridescent colors, with the absence of spots or discoloration improving the appearance all the more! Struck with almost scientific exactness throughout the main devices, understanding the proviso that the reverse die had been injured when the two dies clashed. The reverse die was removed from the minting press, a technician ground away the clash evidence, and returned it to the equipment for continued operation, never realizing that the buffalo was now missing its lower front leg! Only the hoof is there. A famous rarity. A coin of distinction in this choice Mint quality and with spectacular color (PCGS # 3982) .
Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,250.
