Lot Description

1936-D Buffalo Nickel. FS-901 (FS-019). 3 1/2-Legged. VF-35 (PCGS). There is a lot of "meat" on this coin for a Choice VF, the strike sharp and the wear both light and evenly distributed throughout. Time in circulation has also not imparted any detracting abrasions, and the only blemishes of note--they are very minor, in fact--are a few swirls of variegated color on the reverse over and around the bison's hindquarter. Mostly silver-olive in tone, with a lovely appearance for a mid-grade survivor of this scarce and popular Buffalo Nickel error.
