Owner's Description

Mintage: 5.4 Million<br />Full Step Availability: 5%<br />Populaton MS66 5FS: 213/37<br />Date/mm Information: The 1938-D is often found well struck and attractive pieces are plentiful. The low number of full steps is a function of the design not the strike.<br /><br />Coin Description:<br />Orange and blue-violet centers yield to rainbow bands of cherry red, mint green, and sunfire yellow that peek out from underneath sandy peripheries. Some abrasions on Jeff's jawline and collar limit the grade but the eye appeal is off the charts for this boldly impressed full step gem.<br /><br />Comments:<br />This is the quintessential Jefferson Type Coin, first year of issue, full steps, fully detailed including hair and all windows and doors on Monticello. The color and luster are outstanding and it is surprising that the coin was not given a star. This coin was purchased a Heritage Internet Only auction in July 2010 for PCGS Price Guide money.
