So Called Dollar HK-485, NGC MS62, Cert# 2608043-012. This is the exceptionally rare Piece of Eight Dollar, not to be confused with the common Treasure Island Dollar (R-2). Little information can be developed on this issue. Apparently sale planned for 1939 and possibly 1,000 struck; however, "late delivery" resulted in sale of only 150 to 400 for $1 each; remainder of issue melted down. Description: Obv. Facsimile of Spanish Milled Dollar (pillar dollar or piece of eight); at top Treasure Island; below shield 1939; to l. of crown base S.F.; to r. Cal; Rv. At top Facsimile of Piece of Eight / from / Treasure Island; at bottom San Francisco Bay / California. HK-485 Brass, silver-plated. Size: 40mm. Only a few are graded, MS62 being the highest grade, the only specimens known in MS62 are this example and the Ostheimer specimen.
