Description

1838-D Five Dollar, VF30
One-Year Type Coin

1838-D $5 VF30 NGC. McCloskey 1-A, R.3. The 1838-D is a popular coin because of its status as a one-year type within the Classic series. It is also generally not found in high grades, and when it is, such pieces are invariably pricey. This coin shows deep, even reddish patina over each side. The high-point definition is somewhat uneven, most likely because the hair curls were softly struck when the coin was new. This caused the coin to show less of the design in that area. Lightly abraded.(Registry values: P4)

Metal: 90% Gold, 10% Copper
