The 1937 Denver issue "Three-Legged" Buffalo Nickel is a legendary coin and one of the most iconic issues of the 20th century, also known as FS-901. With a mintage of 17,826,000, only an estimated 10,000 examples remain today, accounting for a mere 0.056% of the original production. Created through an excessive die polishing error that removed the Buffalo’s front leg while leaving the hoof intact, this variety has become a quintessential highlight of the Buffalo Nickel series. Scarce in circulated grades and exceptionally rare in Mint State, this near-Gem example stands out with its exquisite pastel toning in shades of gold, pink, and apricot. The obverse features smooth, satiny luster with frosted highlights on the Native American’s profile, while the reverse dazzles with iridescent hues of magenta, teal, and violet accentuating the bison’s musculature and fur. Uncommonly seen with such color, this coin’s rarity and extraordinary eye appeal make it a true treasure for advanced collectors, combining historical significance with aesthetic excellence. With a Price Guide of $10,000 and no relevant toned comps, we find this coin a unique representation of this important coin.
