<B>1920 Wilson Dollar, HK-449, MS63 NGC.</B></I> Silver, 38.1 mm. A highly prized medal that was issued in 1920 to commemorate the opening of the Manila Mint in the Philippines, the only official U.S. mint ever established on foreign soil. The mintmark for this issue is in the form of an incuse M adjacent to Justice's foot on the reverse. George Morgan engraved the dies for this beautiful and highly sought-after piece of Americana. According to Hibler-Kappen (1963), the medal was designed by Clifford Hewitt, who also installed and taught islanders how to use the minting equipment. The current example displays unusually clean fields and rich luster, considering the assigned grade. Census: 19 in 63, 13 finer (8/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
