Owner Comments:

OGH, HM-1, R-3. Only one die pair is known for the 1838-D half eagle. This example has orange-gold color, frosty surfaces and a strong strike. There are three die lumps in front of the throat, a characteristic seen on several examples of this date. Purchased from Crescent City Numismatics.
