(1961) Continental Dollar, HK-854A, MS65 P/L NGC
<B>(1961) Continental Dollar Restrike, HK-854A, MS65 Prooflike NGC.</B></I> White metal, 38.1 mm. This issue was struck in 1961 by Q. David Bowers using the original Continental dollar dies cut by Montroville Dickeson and once owned by Thomas Elder. The Hibler-Kappen reference notes that 7,200 pieces were struck in white metal. This issue is not to be confused with HK-854, which is the attribution for the original pieces struck from the Dickeson dies, even though the NGC label lists this piece as "(1961) HK-854." The 1961 restrikes are 0.5 mm thinner than the earlier copies. As such, the Bowers restrikes have been assigned a new number by current so-called dollar researchers; HK-854A. The NGC <I>Census Report </B></I>fails to reflect this fact and, therefore, the numbers may be slightly skewed to the high side. This untoned piece is the epitome of quality, exhibiting prooflike fields and a crisp strike. Census: 2 in 65 Prooflike, 1 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>)
