1926 Adam Pietz Dollar, HK-457, MS64 Uncert.
<B>1926 Adam Pietz Dollar, HK-457, MS64 Uncertified. </B></I> Gilt, 34.9 mm. A fascinating piece that was issued specifically for the 1926 U.S. Sesquicentennial Exposition in Philadelphia. Adam Pietz, the designer, became assistant engraver at the Philadelphia Mint in 1927. Hibler-Kappen (1963) list this issue as "very scarce." The current example is clearly Mint State, despite some discoloration on the highest points, which is likely the result of natural oxidation. The original patination is a welcome sight in these days of overdipped coins and medals. Only two ticks on the check and a smaller one by the eye on the obverse are worthy of mention. This is a special so-called dollar.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
