<B>Circa 1890s Whipple Dollar, HK-832, MS63 NGC.</B></I> Gilt bronze, 38.1 mm. The Whipple dollar is a controversial issue in that its status as a so-called dollar has been questioned by numismatic specialists who feel that it is technically a store card. The fact that it is really just one half of a shell doesn't help matters either. However, the sentiments of hobbyists and specialists converge on the fact that the Whipple dollar issue is a fascinating piece of Americana and highly collectible. The quality of the example in this lot is of the highest caliber that one could reasonably expect for an HK-832 and perhaps even worthy of a higher grade. Census: 6 in 63, 2 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>)
