Lusterrules So-Called Dollars

Owner Comments:

This Centennial of Allegheny County medal is made of gilt and is extremely rare, most likely even rarer than the bronze version. Until I acquired this piece, I had never seen or heard of another. John Raymond’s web site lists the #166 Unlisted So-Called Dollars as only being known in white metal and bronze with no mention of a gilt version. Like my bronze version of this medal, this piece is nicely struck, has the same die crack running diagonally through the center of the obverse, and has been graded MS-66 by NGC. Unfortunately, NGC has no population data listed in their census for this medal so I have no idea how many they may have graded or if any have been graded higher.
