Circa 1950 Paul Revere Dollar, HK-506, MS68 NGC
<B>Circa 1950 Paul Revere Dollar, HK-506, MS68 NGC.</B></I> Bronze, 38.1 mm. Although undated, this so-called dollar is believed to have been struck circa 1950. Medallic Art Company struck this J.R. Pinches-designed and -engraved medal, which likely commemorates the 175th anniversary of Paul Revere's famous ride. Hibler and Kappen, in their 1963 reference, suggest that "... not more than 200 to 250" pieces of this issue were struck. That alone makes this an elusive issue. Now consider that the current example is the finest thus certified by NGC, having been awarded the coveted MS68 designation; a lofty grade rarely bestowed upon any so-called dollar. The sultry-bronze coloration of this piece gracefully adorns mark-free surfaces which epitomize the meaning of the word "perfection." A stunning example of a scarce issue that would be the highlight of any cabinet. Census: 1 in 68, 0 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>)
