NGC US Coin Census for So-Called Dollars - Hibler & Kappen

Owner Comments:

Although listed as being made of pewter in Hibler & Kappen’s So-Called Dollars an Illustrated Standard Catalog, all HK-79’s were actually struck in white metal. This variety of Declaration of Independence Dollar lacks the Demarest signature below the date on the obverse that is present on the similar HK-75 thru HK-77 medals. Graded MS-62, this piece is one of only two that have been graded by NGC and is a top pop example. It is also fully proof like; however, it was not noted on the holder’s label by NGC. Shevlin & Hyder’s book “So-Called Dollars Volume 1: United States Expositions” list the overall rarity of this medal as R8 (5-10 known).
