1826 NY HK-1000 Erie Canal Comp. MS61 NGC
<B>1826 NY HK-1000 Erie Canal Completion MS61 NGC.</B></I> Silver. The first so-called dollar listed in the standard reference (<I>So-Called Dollars</B></I> by Hibler and Kappen) in 1963. Obverse: seated figures of Pan and Neptune; Reverse: New York State Coat of Arms, section of Erie Canal, sailing ship in background, distant view of city. Stunning cobalt-blue, purple, and gold toning over semi-prooflike surfaces that yield pronounced field-device contrast. A shallow scratch in the upper reverse field limits the grade. Quoting from Hibler-Kappen, " 'Several hundred' pieces struck in Silver and White Metal (pewter); presented to guests and officials. Today, a Silver specimen is uncollectible, with White Metal extremely rare." This is an opportunity that should not be missed for collectors of this important and popular series.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
