1933 Michigan Dollar, HK-473, MS65 NGC
<B>1933 Michigan Dollar, HK-473, MS65 NGC.</B></I> Gilt, reddish, 33.3 mm. Another example of a so-called dollar that could possibly be misattributed in the Hibler-Kappen reference published in 1963. Copper seems to be a more accurate designation than "gilt, reddish," per the standard guide on this series. Struck for the purpose of promoting Michigan at the 1933 Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago, this design is well executed and actually more advanced than many of the modern state quarter issues of today. In the opinion of this cataloger, the current piece is worthy of a higher grade. The surfaces project a semiprooflike quality, and nary a flaw is visible to the naked eye. When viewed at an angle under a proper light source, tinges of chartreuse and magenta expose themselves. A beautiful specimen. Per NGC's designation, the color is full mint red, as if it were struck yesterday. Census: 7 in 65 Red, 4 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>)
