Description
1838 HM-1 Half Eagle, MS63
Final Classic Head Issue
1838 $5 HM-1, R.3, MS63 NGC. The quickest attribution
feature for this variety is the repunched 5 in the denomination, 5
D. The D in the denomination is partly below the branch stem on
this variety, and is fully below the stem on the other variety of
this issue. Daryl Haynor estimates a total population of 700 1838
half eagles that is split just about equally between the two
varieties, despite comments of earlier authors. Haynor also
observes that HM-1 accounts for about one-third of the Mint State
population of all 1838 half eagles. While scattered marks are
expected at the MS63 grade level, this piece has frosty light
yellow luster and bold design motifs. Census: 19 in 63 (1 in 63+),
7 finer (6/23).Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 25S4, Variety PCGS# 765246, Base PCGS# 8176, GSID# 376250)
