POPULAR 1838-D $5 GRADED EF45 BY PCGS
The 1838-D is one of two one-year types from the Classic Head half eagle series; the other being the scarcer 1838-C. The 1838-D is also a first-year-of-issue and I regard it as one of the most popular coins of any denomination made at the Dahlonega.
I have handled at least 50% of all the 1838-D half eagles slabbed by PCGS, and I can’t recall having seen another piece which had as much luster as this coin does. Both sides show a good amount of luster and the overall appearance is quite appealing.
Two PCGS/CAC EF45 1838-D half eagles have sold since 2017, and one sold for $22,200 in May 2022, while the other brought $21,000 in September 2023.
