1838-D Classic Half Eagle
Important Debut D-Mint Issue

1838-D $5 PCGS Genuine. McCloskey 1-A, R.3. The PCGS number ending in .92 suggests Cleaning as the reason, or perhaps one of the reasons, that PCGS deemed this coin not gradable. In our opinion, this coin has the details of an AU specimen that has been cleaned and has light obverse damage in the form of scattered tiny hits. Detail is sharp, and the orange-gold coloration is pleasing. The sought-after first-year Dahlonega issue, a key date in the Classic Head series.

Note for clients in the European Union: This lot is considered by the European Union to be “investment gold”. We believe that it meets the criteria established in Article 344(1), point (2) of Council Directive 2006/112/EC and thus should be exempt from import VAT regardless of the selling price. Any questions or concerns about VAT should be addressed to your accountant or local tax authority.
