1938-D PCGS MS-64. 1938-D PCGS MS-64.
Lot Title: 1938-D PCGS MS-64.
Description: The key to the latter half of the Walking Liberty half-dollar series (1936 - 1947) is hands-down 1938-D in any grade range. While scarcity of the issue is exaggerated in well circulated grades, it is a legitimately difficult coin to locate at the uncirculated level, and MS-65 coins become disproportionately expensive compared to all others after 1936, making the MS-64 level very attractive to savvy buyers. Many of the attributes of a gem example are given this PCGS MS-64 example, including gorgeous cottony luster, a good strike and slightly prooflike character for the reverse. A profusion of tiny raised pimples indicate a rusty die, but do not impede eye-appeal at all. One smallish grease stain in the lower folds of the skirt, and some tiny scattered ticks are all that limit the grade.
Low Estimate: $600.00

1938-D NGC MS-64.
Mintage: 491,600. For any iteration of a Walking Liberty "short set" of half-dollar, 1938-D ranks as the undisputed key, stemming from an initial production of under half a million pieces. NGC has...

1938-D PCGS MS-66.
Roman Powers Collection. 340 graded MS-66, 23 higher at PCGS. The low mintage under half a million pieces automatically makes the 1938-D a candidate for key status, but look at the population...

Four 1938-D.

549The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$1,000.00
1938-D PCGS MS-65.
Fully lustrous but not quite blazing, the eye-appeal derives great benefit from an excellent strike. The value of 1938-D is simply overrated in lower circulated grades, but at the gem level,...
506The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$250.00
1938-D PCGS Genuine.
Nice uncirculated appearance, but obviously brightened and cleaned. The thumb and skirtline detailing are strong. There is a significant contact mark on the lower portion of the eagle's wing.

1938-D, 1941-S, 1942-S, 1943, 1944-S and 1946-D Walking Liberty...
The MS-64 grade has been judiciously applied by NGC to each of the six Walking Liberty half-dollars in this assortment, which contains some much tougher short-set issues. Included with commentary are:...
1493The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$650.00
1938-D NGC MS-63.
Dripping with luster, and with the amount of marks seen on many examples graded MS-64. The dress and feather detail are both very solid.
636The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$190.00
1938-D AU-53.
This key date issue is in a very desirable condition. The coin is a solid AU and is totally original. There are no major marks and only very minimal wear.
637The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/17/2006$850.00
1938-D NGC MS-64.
Just the very slightest trace of violet flows along with the luster on the obverse surfaces. It is quite attractive. A couple of hairlines, literally, from being MS-65.
