1937-D 5C 3 Legs (Regular Strike) Added to PCGS CoinFacts

Since the launch of the new PCGS CoinFacts, we have been hard at work updating and expanding the site's information. Here's a recent example:

Ron Guth: The 1937-D 3 Legs variety resulted from over-zealous polishing of a worn reverse die. The front foreleg was almost completely removed and the back leg developed a "moth-eaten" appearance (see image above). A diagnostic feature of this variety is the "stream" that appears beneath the bison's belly. If this feature is not present, beware of an altered coin.

Buffalo Nickels (1913-1938)
