<B>Circa 1961 Continental Dollar Restrike, HK-852A, MS62 NGC.<BR></B></I> Silver, 38.1 mm. Similar to HK-852, but struck in the early 1960s. HK-852 represents an earlier issue of which only 50 pieces were reportedly struck. Hibler-Kappen suggests that 2,000 of the later restrikes were issued and sold to the public, the current piece among them. The key difference is the presence of a small "S" on the reverse near 6 o'clock between the Delaware and Pennsylvania rings. The HK-852A attribution was assigned by this cataloger to make the distinction. The NGC <I>Census Report </B></I>indicates that 16 examples of the 1961 HK-852 restrikes have been graded, with seven designated as Prooflike. The example in this lot, however, is not reflected in the total. Blue-gray toning accented by soft rose hues dance atop the shimmering luster of this piece.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
