The '38-C is a one-year Classic Head type in the Charlotte half eagle series, although it is usually obtainable for a price in circulated grades. This AU coin shows smooth orange-gold surfaces and well-detailed motifs. A heavy diagonal die crack bisects the reverse from the olive leaves to the eagle's right (facing) wingtip, identifying the usual late die state.(Registry values: P5)
