Lot 1224
1938-D, D over S. PCGS graded MS-65. CAC Approved PQ. Housed in an Old Green Holder. Lovely rich gold toning. Well struck. The repunching that produced the 1938 D over S coins is not from accident nor blundering but from economy, according to the Breen Encyclopedia. Once the authorities decided not to ship any buffalo nickel dies to San Francisco for 1938 coinage, the reverse dies already earmarked for the San Francisco Mint were overpunched with D for Denver (PCGS # 3985) .
Estimated Value $175 - 200.
