Lot Title: 1937-D "three legged" Buffalo nickel, XF-40 details
Description: At arm's length, this appears to be a nice, original coin of good quality. Closer inspection reveals a partial coating of green PVC residue, and beneath that, a good loupe reveals mildly hairlined surfaces that appear to have been cleaned at one time, almost certainly a long time ago (before the PVC residue occurred). Your cataloger suggests that proper conservation is a must on the part of this coin's new owner. From the "Zodiac" collection.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $625.00
High Estimate: $775.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.

1937-D/D NGC MS-66.
D is nicely repunched east, but perhaps more interesting, the coin displays surprisingly bold prooflike tendencies due to repolished field areas of the die. A curving die crack underscores FIVE...

1937-D "three legged" Buffalo nickel, XF-40 details
Carefully brushed, apparently in an attempt to impart the appearance of mint state luster, this nickel appears at first glance to blaze with luster, but alas it is not original luster. Some gold...

1937-D "three legged" Buffalo nickel, AU-50 details
Harshly and amateurishly whizzed in a misguided attempt to restore luster to what must have been a gorgeous coin prior. It's too bad so many coins were damaged in years past, as today's demand for...
514The Midwest Winter Sale 2008 on 02/08/2008$6,750.00
1937-D "three legged" Buffalo nickel, NGC MS-64
In a quiet, subdued fashion, this is a deceptively pretty coin that relies on subtle quality rather than individually flagrant characteristics for its appeal. The mint luster is a bit quiet, the...

Ten 1937-D MS-66.
A stunning quarter roll of exquisitely lustrous specimens radiating iridescent hues of rose and gold. The design elements are prominently struck.
