1937-D Buffalo Nickel NGC AU-58 D

1937-D Three-Legged Buffalo Nickel – NGC AU58 – Famous Key Variety

Available now is a 1937-D 3-Legged Buffalo Nickel, one of the most iconic and desirable varieties in American coinage. Graded AU58 by NGC, this near-Mint State example offers sharp detail, original luster, and beautiful vintage surfaces with only the lightest touch of wear — making it a top-tier example for collectors who value condition and originality.

This dramatic mint error occurred at the Denver Mint when an overzealous die polishing removed the buffalo’s front leg, giving rise to the now-famous “Three-Legged” variety. With its unmistakable error and limited population, the 1937-D 3-Leg remains a cornerstone of the Buffalo Nickel series and a must-have for U.S. variety specialists.

In AU58, this piece sits at the top of the circulated spectrum, making it an excellent candidate for collectors looking for high visual quality without the Mint State price tag.
