1915 Octagonal Dollar, HK-424, Unc Details NCS
<B>1915 Octagonal Dollar, HK-424--Improperly Cleaned--NCS. Unc Details.</B></I> Gilt bronze, 40.4 x 40.4 mm. A scarcer variety of HK-424, with IRVINE & JACHENS, S.F. on the lower obverse (date side). This specific variety was apparently unknown to Hibler and Kappen when they published their work on so-called dollars in 1963, as it is unlisted. It is, however, considered by modern-day specialists to be part of HK-424. Perhaps the forthcoming revision to the so-called dollar reference will list this variety with a new subnumber. The design of this piece is styled after the awe-inspiring Humbert octagonal fifty dollar slugs of the 1850s. To add to the charm of this example, the V in IRVINE is actually an inverted A! Lightly cleaned surfaces keep this piece from being certified as problem-free, although the hairlines are minor and this would be a welcome addition to most collections. <BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
