(1960) Disney, HK-754, Obv. Brockage--MS65 NGC
<B>Circa 1960 Disneyland, HK-754, Obverse Brockage--MS65 NGC.</B></I> Gold anodized aluminum, 39.7 mm. A fascinating piece that will appeal as much to error specialists as it will to so-called dollar enthusiasts. An 80% obverse brockage shows the details of an already struck piece that made its way between the blank planchet of this example and the obverse die just before striking. It is unlikely that this was an intentional error of a bored press operator, as it would likely have been created as a full brockage. Some of the very few so-called dollar errors known to exist are believed to have been intentionally made. How the current example managed to survive to this day is a mystery. Perhaps this piece was shipped to Disneyland with the normal medals and was noticed by an alert attendant. Whoever obtained this piece obviously treasured it and stored it with great care, as it now resides in an NGC MS65 holder, the finest of this type thus graded (8/07).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
