Owner Comments:
THIS IS THE PLATE EXAMPLE AS PICTURED IN THE 2ND EDITION OF THE SO-CALLED DOLLAR BOOK FROM 2008 BY HIBLER & KAPPEN. NGC RAN OUT OF ROOM FOR THE PLATE DESIGNATION, BUT THE PICTURES IN THE BOOK MATCH THIS MEDAL EXACTLY.
VERY SLIGHT RIM DAMAGE ON OBVERSE AT 9:00 (I THOUGHT THAT THE SURFACES WOULD MAKE THIS A DETAILS GRADE, BUT THEY ARE CALLING IT UNC DETAILS WITH OBVERSE RIM DAMAGE.) I GUESS THAT I AM HAPPY WITH THAT.
THERE ARE NONE OF THIS TYPE LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 10/2023.
