A short but nasty recession set in during 1937 and lasted through 1938. This accounts for the sharp decline in the numbers of all USA coins struck with this date. 1938(P) dimes typically display good strikes and excellent luster. The percentage of coins having Full Bands is lower than for 1938-D dimes.
