[QUOTE="foundinrolls, post: 700727, member: 4350"]Hi, This one is definitely genuine. The scratches do hurt. A $5000.00 price tag is way to high even on a better version of the piece. These are not as heavily counterfeited as the 1937 D 3-legged nickel so there is usually little to worry about with this particular coin. Keep in mind that we are talking about a die state here. The die was heavily abraded removing some of the details that would form the leg on the struck coin. So technically, the coin is neither an error or a die variety. Believe it or not, that is the same with the 1937 D 3-legged Buffalo coin. These are examples of die states. One last thing to mention is that population reports don't tell you anything. It only tells you how many are known. It doesn't tell you how many there are. I see books with populations of a low number on coins that I have 50 of sitting here. Keep in mind that no one knows (except in a few instances) how many of any coin can be out there:-) That being said, the 1936 D coin seen here is highly sought after by specialists in the Buffalo nickel (Indian Head nickel) series and it should bring a good amount if sold. Have Fun, Bill[/QUOTE]
