Lot Description

1936-D Buffalo Nickel. FS-901 (FS-019). 3 1/2-Legged. VF-20 (NGC). This is an original VF with dominant silver-gray color and bolder olive-gray highlights outlining many of the devices. Relatively smooth for the grade, with plenty of bold detail remaining to the major design elements. The all-important reverse diagnostic is clearly seen, the middle portion of the bison's right foreleg being faint and incomplete due to excessive die polishing on the part of Mint employees.
