Lamination problem caused by the poor mixing of the alloy.

Possible lamination error. Seems ok.

I assume that your question is, "Does a VF 25 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo nickel receive 6 points in the NGC Registry?"  The answer is "yes, in a type set." Type sets are scored solely on the type of the coin, its grade, and whether it was made in circulation strike or proof format.  Any circulation issue 1913-38 "Variety 2" Buffalo nickel graded Very Fine would receive 6 points in a type set. I assume that you used the coin to fill a slot in a type set.
   In a date and mint set, such as Buffalo Nickels 1913-1938, Complete Circulation Issue Sets | NGC Registry | NGC (ngccoin.com), where the rarity of the specific issue counts, the 1937-D 3-legged Buffalo is worth 1531 points in Very Fine grade.
   

I object!  The word "NOT" is of a different font and appears to have been shoe-horned in as an afterthought.  And, if "not" a one-cent piece, what is it?  I feel this "token" was intentionally posted to inadvertently expose me as the rank amateur I never disputed I am.  Just Bob's carom shot?  Who knows?   🤣

When discussing British coins, modern has an obvious line of demarcation - decimalisation.

🐓:  With your leave, your Honor, I should like to cross-examine the witness.
Judge *****, presiding:  Go right ahead, counselor!
🐓:  Good afternoon, sir!  Would it be safe to assume you have never before encountered the various types of damage as exhibited rather prominently by this type of coin in the 50-plus years it has been in circulation?  I ask because it appears from your query that, however unlikely, you appear to entertain the possibility such damage, may have occurred at a U.S. Mint facility one day in 1956.  Would you be able to refer those who are not "all-knowing," to an example you may have seen in someone's collection or brought to your attention in published literature, a Reporter or a website?  As a matter of intellectual curiosity, I should like to know what such a relic would realistically command at auction and whether you feel same is worthy of being enshrined in an encapsulation?
No further questions, your Honor.  Your witness.
Judge *****,  This matter is adjourned until 9:30 tomorrow morning, sharp!

I'm a big fan of waiting for the right coin to come along. Something nice without major problems. I don't care for something that will be hard to sell in the future. Made that mistake many times in my early days. 

One notable exception comes to mind and while members may feel I am harping on it, the truth is a judgment call had to made (as well as a career decision to the parties involved.) This concerned the injury suffered to the right leg of Liberty on the unique '33 "Double-Eagle." I shall not say another word more. Negotiations occurred between the owner and at least two TPGS and I have to assume the parties involved were satisfied.
I had wanted to restrict my observations to just the two comments you made above because if there is anyone given to making fair and balanced comments it is you.  Now, is it not a fact that you have regaled the membership with a steady diet -- and I exaggerate solely to illustrate the point I wish to make, that coins, particularly those slabbed years ago by A, were resubmitted by you to B, and you were pleasantly surprised by the results? You modestly offered a reason which I accepted at face value because I believe you are congenitally incapable of lying and/or showboating. Cross-grading entails risk and I believe every decision you had made was more than fortuitous good luck. I am very happy for you.
 

The Coin World experiment, which I think was back in the early 1990s, wasn't about favoritism among submitters. It was about whether the then eleven-point (60 to 70) system for grading mint state and (unworn) proof coins was capable of being consistently applied in the first place.  As I recall, a number of individual coins received different--sometimes several point different--grades when resubmitted to the same grading service.  I thought, "this numerical grading nonsense ends here and now", but it didn't.

Supposedly, the graders at reputable grading services are not allowed to know whose coins they are grading. The contention that large submitters receive better grades than others is an often-repeated contention for which no one to my knowledge has provided credible evidence.  A number of the several dozen coins from my collection that I have submitted to NGC received numerical grades higher than I expected, and I'm certainly not a large submitter. (I've had a few disappointing experiences as well.) On the other hand, I once heard a well-known representative of a major numismatic auction house complain that PCGS had refused to attribute certain early U.S. coins as proofs despite their having previously been attributed and sold as such; and I have read major auctioneers' catalog descriptions that questioned the accuracy of the grades given by grading services.
   The real problem as I see it is the interplay of (1) the complexity and subjectivity of the current numerical grading "system" and (2) the inherent pressure on grading services from all customers to satisfy them with generous grades. Experienced graders may reasonably disagree over whether a coin should receive a grade of, for example, 64, 64+, or 65. The difference in list prices from 64 to 65 may be substantial, and concern that any customer may go to a competitor could result in the coin being given the benefit of the doubt. Smaller submitters who think that their coins were just as nice as pieces sold by major dealers or auction houses at higher grades may assume that these large submitters receive special considerations, which is probably what leads to the contentions of favoritism in the first place.

It's a nickel. 

...if has reserve doubt it sells, if not bout same as last time....

Alternate viewpoint:  
The soothsayer residing within me says U.S.  Moderns will never be hot. This is not wishful or negative "the grapes were probably sour anyway" animus thinking.  It is, for some, a simple, painful, realization of reality. Not to one-up @World Colonial on this, but the worst is yet to come. The sliver is gone, classic gold showcasing the engravers art is gone -- even our currency is laughably cartoonzlike. Plastic has been overtaking metal for some time.  It is indeed unfortunate these Mexican drug cartels are oblivious to the fact it is not money, but the love of money that is at the root of all evil. I wouldn't be caught dead measuring the distance between a numeral and a rim or a leaf.  In real life, the decisions that really matter and upon which lives depend on are nothing more complicated than "O" rings, stopping at RR crossings and being minful of wind shear when landing.  Modern coins look cheap and sound cheaper when dropped. The future of the hobby lies in the past.

The TPGS have to know how many members they have. It’s a simple database record count. 

Teacher:  "What does your father do for a living?  Yes, Jimmy!
Jimmy:  My father collects coins. All kinds, but mostly quarters on "the Neck."  (The Throgmorton's Neck Bridge connecting the Bronx with Queens, NYC).
Teacher:  Anyone else?  Yes, Missy!
Missy:  My dad's a lawyer. He's a partner in a white shoe law firm down on Wall Street.
Teacher:  And you, Johnny? 
Johnny:  My mom's a doctor at Riverside Hospital.
Teacher:  Anybody else?...  Tommy?
Tommy:  My father really lucked out!  He's a licensed plumber! We've got a mini-mansion, a Gulf Stream IV, a '32 Deusenberg, a country club membership, and a  vacation home on Norman's Cay, our own private island in the Bahamas...   🤣
